„HEKATOMBE III“ combines a two channel video-installation and live performance by choreographer and performer Martha Hincapié Charry. Video projections portray leaders of native peoples from territories and cultures of the so-called Americas, entering into a synchronous dialogue with one another.  „movements and rituals for the renewal of the world“ creates a web of relationships that expands into cartographies, dances, and soundscapes and aims to embody earth's fabric: our shared home.

„HEKATOMBE III“ reflects on the relationship between human beeings and Gaia – the idea of the Earth as a dynamic living being – through the lens of indigenous ceremony. From an anti-colonial perspective, the performance documents millennia-old practices and messages, interweaving the visions, movements, and wisdom of a reciprocal relationship with planet earth.
