Mysticism, ritual, and nature in Peruvian Amazon make viewers embark on a spiritual journey. Ino Moxo, the play staged by the Peruvian company of interdisciplinary theatre Integro Grupo de Arte displays poetic, oneiric and sometimes abstract images that involve the audience in a mystical experience of agony and the shamanist healing through ayahuasca – as if the bodies on stage were also a presence that belongs in  part in the audience and in a collective soul.

Visual arts, music, theatre, and dance come together in performance tableaux that promote a ritual – some of them rocked by Ikaros, the medicine songs intoned in spiritual ceremonies of  Shamans and healers.

Ino Moxo was inspired by the novel Las Tres Mitades de Ino Moxo, by César Calvo. States the Peruvian author: “This book merely portrays my sleep-walking journey, hypnotically dragged by indomitable presages and ayahuasca, the sacred wine of Amazonian  sorcerers.”

Integro Grupo de Arte
Formed in 1984 by Óscar Naters and Ana Zavala, the Peruvian company of interdisciplinary theatre explores different media and languages and is mostly interested in  researching the universe of different traditions.
