TONALLI is a shamanic composition in three parts: an atavistic preparation for a Flower War (Xochiyáoyotl); a solar-lunar ceremonial brazier (Tlecacitl) where Xolotl emerges in his turbulent opacity; finally, a solar irradiation (Tonalli) that manifests in the world as the flowing cosmic blood in which all beings are immersed. A Mesoamerican spell unleashed.

This visually exuberant Mesoamerican incantation by the Colectivo Los Ingrávidos, an audiovisual collective that demands the disarticulation of television and film grammar, is set to music by live electronic musician Concepción Huerta, a key figure in the experimental ambient and noise scene in Mexico.
