Breathing should be as easy as looking, listening, sitting, talking, dancing, singing, eating a banana or riding a skateboard. But it isn’t.
Arnasa is the result of the company’s need to open up to new perceptions. Organik is entering the world of diversity and working with groups in its community to strengthen the local cultural network.
Synopsis
Breathing should be as easy as looking, listening, sitting, talking, dancing, singing, eating a banana or riding a skateboard. But it isn’t.
What happens to our breathing when a situation upsets us? When we are in apnea, what happens when air comes in, but can’t get out and everything stops for a few seconds?
You can’t stop breathing, even if you want to, not even for a moment… We are condemned to hold our breath, to live with it and its ups and downs, to live with its peculiarities and its eccentric reactions.
Arnasa travels through all those diverse sensations that breathing provokes in us: from those moments of total plenitude in which we feel intimately connected; to those others dark, irreversible in which the lack or excess of air takes over us, our consciousness and our will.
