Daniela Pabón

Cartagena 2025, 
At this event we explore forms of secret, based on the book Fernanda by Daniela Pabón and Catéter (Colombia). Nature hides secrets that appear in human life as revelations, instants that conserve eternity. Fernanda is an old being, assumed to be extinct, the sea is an immense body, an earthly force, although it consists of water. Between them is the heart of the world, the secret of all living things. We play with words in order to create and record a poetic composition of whispers, murmurs and silences. So, the secret of Fernanda and the sea will be ours too.
