Enchanted Forest
The invitation is to see the invisible. When you put on the headset and cross the portal, you enter a forest inhabited by beings, animals and characters connected to our culture, to the fauna and the flora. Here there are no obstacles to overcome and no goals to complete. There is a path of listening, presence and connection, where the environment responds to your gestures, your movements and your voice.
Along the way, the Pajé Txuã leads the ritual alongside the jaguar Maná, the wise Uacari, the musician Josi and a whole circle of light around the fire. Here, virtual reality brings us closer to nature. It re-enchants the world, awakens care for the forest and respect for the knowledge of Indigenous peoples.
A forest does not make itself. This work was born from many hands and many kinds of knowledge: scriptwriters, programmer, animators, modelers, sound artists, set designers, lighting designers, producers and mediators who gave body to this world. At its heart are the knowledge and the voice of Txuã Pakamayte, leader of the Huni Kuin people of the Envira River, in Acre, who lent his voice to the Pajé. To every person who dreamed, designed and built this forest, our thanks.
Characters
PAJÉ TXUÃ
Pajé of the Enchanted Forest, Txuã is a very powerful healer who leads those who seek him into the path of enlightenment and self-knowledge. He uses the wisdom of the sacred plants and the invisible energy of the forest to guide people to other dimensions. He has a lot to teach with his words and plants, you just have to be close to him with an open heart.
The Pajé’s speeches were created from an interview with Cacique Txuã Pakamayte, leader of the Huni Kuin Tribe of the Envira River region in Acre, northern region of Brazil. Besides giving us his knowledge, Txuã also gave his voice to the character of the installation.
THE WISE CACAJO
JOSI, THE MUSICIAN
A traveler and a wanderer, he is Txuã’s friend. With his atabaque he helps to lead the ritual creating a musical environment conducive to elevation. The atabaque is an ancestral instrument which came to Brazil through the hands of the Africans and along with it was also brought the strength of that continent.
MANÁ, THE JAGUAR
With her strength, courage and power, Maná is a protector of the forest and a guide for human beings. The Pajés evoke her wisdom. She is a power animal who takes us along the path of discovery. She is part of this circle of light to help the Pajé in his ritual work.
ROSA, THE COSMIC GIRL
Rosa lives on a planet that has no nature anymore. The people there took too long to see and nothing was left. She came to planet Earth for an exchange of knowledge. The Pajé is teaching Rosa how to grow plants through the energy of the hands. She is learning this so nature can be reborn on her planet. And we can learn it too: our hands can create life.
