A Trilogy of Caves is composed by The Formaldehyde Trip (2017),
Heavy Blood (2018) and Opossum Resilience (2019).
The three works are plots for oppositionality, undigested temporalities
of return, Mesoamerican bastardized myth revisionism and crafty
exuberance. Each of the works is accompanied by its respective
nagual or animal spirit, and each of them gather a cast of pluriversal
characters that get together to re-exist, resurrect, and affirm desire
within landscapes of dispossession. The figure of the cave is present
as a site for radical openness to darkness and to the realm of death.

This trilogy clings to forms of relational bliss and generative
indignation, as embodied reminders that there are pleasurable
forms of being together that are worth striving for.
