An interdisciplinary creation that explores traditional indigenous and contemporary verbal, visual, kinetic, and sonic languages, by combining mythical, historical, cultural and ethnographic elements of Wayuu culture.  These are put in dialogue with traditional dances and visionary elements of contemporary dance, live music and rap lyrics within the video/ sound/sculpture on stage and on screen.  

Eina La Majajut exalts the cosmo-vision and resilience of Indigenous Wayuu people. We want to show how ambition and greed make nature sick and generates suffering in all the beings that inhabit it.
