A story told around the fire explores the power and conditions of the formation of myths, memories, narratives, or practices — individual, collective, communal —, looking for the movements of their persistence, resistance, transmutation, or total explosion, through material, technical, linguistic or symbolic flows. Feeling an atmosphere that seeks a certain mystical vibration, we circulate amid materialities that preserve their own rumour, ancestral or elemental productivities, strong images and rituals, affective and intimate tales, but also speculative fables, glimpsing new future possibilities through the hallucinated mingling of traces of the past and the present, creating horizons of trans-temporal and trans-subjective relations.
