“An encounter with the last great shaman of peyote and the secrets of healing. These are the winter rites opening the Way of Ciguri, the final phase of Antonin Artaud”s Taharumara experience.” (Raymonde Carasco)

“Night looks like a Baroque composition: contrapuntal moments of intensity, those of the rite itself, and the ritual dance, interspersed by long ‘empty’ moments of drinking, as if intense segments were being torn away from the ‘firm line’ of inebriation… At least, such was the case this Night.” (Raymonde Carasco)
