The work is centered on the idea of the trayenko (waterfall) in the Mapuche world view.

The trayenko is a vital and sacred space to many of the Mapuche people’s practices; the flow of the water, specially of the trayenko, is of utmost importance and is linked to the lawen–medicinal herbs that grow near water bodies–. In the performance, we are able to see the movement of the artist’s body, dressed in an electric blue coat, which, in the end, enters the river and the waterfall. The work proposes to reflect on the body within the immensity of nature.
