Pedra y Apocalypso
Pedra y Apocalypso is an experimental oracle book created during the creative process of the homonymous show, Apocalypso. This edition became a work in itself when it was realized that the arcanas found within could also communicate beyond the context of the show. Pedra contains rituals, stories, poems, and messages that help interpret the arcanas of the Apocalypso Oracle as markers for a reading on endings and beginnings. The book addresses the body as a physical and imaginary space of magic, written by a corpa that activates physically and spiritually, dancing in trance while writing. Discover how this dance can activate entities that help us trace fugitive routes from the colonial world and how it can activate readings about its crossing.
