  1. THE TORCH, THE KEY AND THE SNAKE

     

    spirits of vernacular beliefs

    ancestors, creatures and souls, come in

    possess those bodies to become the others 

    as many said

         memento mori

                          bitches


         don’t forget this verse

    The Torch, the Key and the Snake is a ritual conducted by nx3, an invitation into their realm. Guided by the imagery of the witch, the bouffon, and the pop diva, the piece embraces the contradictions between counter-culture and mainstream. nx3 reimagines collective spiritual practices from a queer feminist perspective.

    The Torch, the Key and the Snake is the breath that swallows, the laughter of the hand. Halo, migraña, epilepsy. Satellite and nymph. Fluorine color screaming from its orbit. Software. Ointment in the atmosphere, light that melts with the heat of presence.
