Deep Time Dance offers an origin story for an interspecies and two-spirit future. Based in the Guaraní story of Tupã Tenondé, the creator of all life, and the Mainumby, the hummingbird who nourished and inspired the deity while the world was being made, Xonorika’s film ultimately ask, what are the ideal conditions for life to exist? In an ode to native survivance and the deep time of geologic formation, Xonorika creates an evolving world-in-the-making that centers joy, pleasure and dance.
