We Drink Water From The Same River | Sofia Melikova | Trailer 2021

EN: A long sleeping wind turns into a hurricane, a long suppressed light becomes a flaming imposing labels and limiting a person in the manifestation of his/her inner essence, the natural order of life is being violated. Each of us, following our true origins, plays a certain assigned role in the great creation plan. “We Drink Water From The Same River” is an experimental multimedia project based on my performative practices, dreams and envisionings — spatiotemporal dimensions, where I can allow myself to come into contact with my “darkness” and be filled with the spiritual wisdom and ancient Tsakhur rituals of women of my family, passed over from generation to generation.
