This piece is a search, a rescue, a scream, a rite that strikes the flesh, a stamping of the foot on the ground to lift the earth and wake up those who walk beneath it. An oceanic route, Calunga that cradles drowned memories.The tarot, a family oracle, is the device chosen to begin the rescue of a culture and its mythology, to recall a personal but also collective history and reanimate futures that are still buried. How many Roma people don't know their history?
