I have not finished digesting the play / dance Oxlajuj Sotz'il B'aktun the group premiered this weekend at the Ruins of the collection. This event had a very special look, as it was the first time they had after the death of Lisa Guarcax happened on August 25, 2010 (day Oxlajuj Batz 'on the calendar maya). He had been a guide and founder Jay Sotz'il cultural center and was the victim of kidnapping, torture and murder in his native village, the board, Solola.
Sotz'il Group has spent the last years to study, interpret and publicize ancient Mayan wisdom through the scenic and musical creation. Oxlajuj B'aktun is an attempt to raise awareness of the Mayan prophecies, without the sensationalism behind the now infamous date of December 21, 2012 during the winter solstice.
The work was by no means light, instead it was dense, sometimes dark and terrible, as the impressive jaguar scene balam that tear off the claws and take away freedom. Many think that when Lisa and the terrible torture he suffered before dying. The next day when I saw the news on Sunday that there are only 300 copies in Guatemala of this powerful cat, better understood the message.
remember that for the Maya, time is not linear but cyclical. Besides that everything is dual. And when you refer to the end of an era, also speak of the beginning of another. Therefore, the Fifth Sun, we see it as the beginning of a new era where humans will become clearer, and there will be a return to balance.
To summarize the staging of Oxlajuj B'aktun, I'll comment on Rosa Chávez: "striking the Sotzil, I took off and returned his breath at a time ... "
