Synopsis

bear my soul is inspired by the animism of indigenous people of the Far North, their myths, and their practice of dreaming to connect with the spirits of other beings, such as plants, animals, and elements that inhabit our world.

Step into a spiritual world where each person takes the appearance of an evolving creature with a plant-like skin and an animal face. Through gaze, touch, and the vibration of their voice, participants resonate with other beings. By interacting with them, they can alter the surrounding environment and undergo their own transformation.
