Huni Kuin Tribe film screening ‘Eskawatã Kayawai - “The Spirit Of Transformation”
+ live songs from the Huni Kuin
Thursday July 21 @ 8pm
Cosmic 🍍 at Pikes, Ibiza
Coming from the jungle to share their songs, wisdom and energy, we are very happy to welcome the Huni Kuin people to Cosmic Pineapple on Thursday July 21st.
In the heart of the Amazon Rainforest, the Kaxinawá people (self-claimed Huni Kuin, "true people") are experiencing their cultural and spiritual renaissance. ‘Eskawatã Kayawai’ - “The spirit of transformation” is a feature film, shot deep in the forest with the Huni Kuin people, showing the beauty and simplicity of everyday life, the enchantments of the forest medicines and the effort of what it takes for a tribe to rediscover themselves in communion with nature.
After decades of slavery during the rubber plantation era, when they were captured in the forests with dogs, marked with numbers and forbidden to speak their language and live their culture. It took more than 20 years of hard work, prayers, and cultural strengthening undertaken by the spiritual leader Ninawá Pai da Mata so that his people could return to their ancestral way of life.
After living as non-indigenous and now back to their identity, they seek to combine the best of both worlds. Such a powerful return home is an example for the world, especially in the critical moment in which we live, proving that it is possible to rescue ancestry and revolutionise everyday life to be in harmony with the planet.
The film screening will include live song & prayers shared by spiritual leaders Txana Tuwe, Txana Yube & Biruani Siriani and a Q&A with director Patrick Belem
