Who hasn't dreamt of falling into the void? Who hasn't dreamt of flying? Who hasn't dreamt of being chased? Do you remember your dreams? Have you ever known inside the dream that you were dreaming? Can dreams solve problems? Can we communicate with animals or our ancestors in our dreams? Can dreams see into the future? Can we dream the same dream?

Onyx is an oneiric ritual of void and presence, the pause before chaos and chaos itself. It blurs the boundaries between intervention and dream, in the construction of metaphors loaded with silence, noise, non-linear information, weight and the fluctuation of time.
