- Dancing as part of an ancient ritual -


- A ritual that bonds us with nature and allows us to be part of the cosmic order of things. -


Four characters dance together - the Deer, the Jaguar, the Hikuri and Mother Earth - just like the forces of nature.


A magical encounter between hunter and prey becomes a special transformative bond.
