Le Grand Luminaire

Overview

Towards technological shamanism - an exploration of new archaisms.
The acceleration and multiplication of information have changed our relationship with time and the great mysteries of existence.
The institutions of our societies seem incapable of embracing this phenomenon.
The mythological and archaic notion of shaman seems to offer us a suitable position to understand our new situation and ask these questions:
- What are our new totems?
- Where will the psychopomps go to look for lost souls?
- What are the new ecstasies?
- What are the enduring initiation and healing rituals?
The current situation, digital deluge, reactivates the archetypes of Butoh's origins - a phenomenon of shamanic resilience in the face of civilisation's accelerated metamorphosis.
