The breasts are in place, the feathers are smoothed, off to the date! Her daughter does not comprehend the ritual of desire yet … Erotically crude, with pointed beaks in the conflicts.
Daniel Medina, a Wixárika indigenous musician, embarks on a unique collaboration with composer Philip Glass in which they share their traditional music with eager audiences.
A Place Called Music is a documentary about the peculiar musical encounter between Daniel Medina, a traditional Wixarika violinist from the mountains of Jalisco, Mexico, and Philip Glass, the eminent composer from New York City.
The documentary features live music as rehearsals and performances take place in prominent venues in Mexico and New York – music that has only been heard in ceremonial Wixárika gatherings but this time has an unprecedented addition: a grand piano.
Even though Daniel and Philip come from very different backgrounds and don't even speak the same language, they have created a common place where their spirits can meet and unravel each other – their music.
From 1974 to 1977, a huge trade fair centre was built in Lagos. Today nature and humans are reclaiming the ruins. Plants proliferate, small crafts flourish – a trans-historical site visit.
It was meant to be a place of trade, exchange and sharing. Now, there are flooded rooms, flowers and weeds and snails and birds, cut fruit and cut wood, cooks and carpenters, an artificial lake and football fields, Ema's memory of what once was here and Kendo's view of what one can see.
