Alejandro Sajgalik Cantos para los insaciables [work in progress]

Residency at OBORO
from September 11 to 18, 2019

As part of VIVA! Art Action from September 23 to 28, 2019

Alejandro attempts to build a bridge linking a peak mystical experience with feelings of insatiability that find solace in addiction. Diving into deep listening, he unearths intergenerational trauma anchored within the nervous system. Nomadism and exile forge complex links that weave a mnemonic matrix. Through somatic improvisations and repetition, he empties myself, which invites awareness to be channeled through his body, echoing ancestral possession dances. His music, from oneiric vocal voyages to relentless repetitions of distorted samples, is a polyphony of archetypes. His movement revisits territories and objects with a relationship oscillating between physical, energetic, mental and imaginary states, allowing new neuropathways to emerge and restructure the nervous system. This myelination enables new mythologies to take root and open futures. This process highlights the spiritual wasteland in Western society, while unveiling contemporary ideology. It’s a quest for lost fragments, a yearning to once again reach the cosmic orgasm.
