Glottis,
Flora Detraz
2021

Glottis occurs inside a glottis or at the lost end of a grotto, in ancient times, in prehistory or in future times, beyond history. Three figures – who see things with their eyes closed, shamans in hypnosis, or simple sleepwalkers – indulge in mysterious practices. In a kind of dancing concert – that is disturbingly similar to a fantastic prophecy – they converse with invisible forces. A dreamlike immersion into the intricacies of magic and the unconscious, Glottis ventures into the occult.
