Adapted from their previous techno-opera Atlacoya, La Culebra is a live performance (55’) conceived by WangShui and Alberto Bustamante as a closing ritual for the Biennale Arte 2024. Set within WangShui’s chamber-like installation, which features their Cathexis paintings exploring the serpent as a cipher for knowledge, violence, and love, the performance echoes the story of the Tlaloc monolith. La Bruja de Texcoco embodies the serpent, her voice moving fluidly through Indigenous Mexican music traditions, orchestral choruses, and contemporary club sounds, weaving time and space with the frequency of love.
