Tsantsas: An Evening of Spirituality, Art and Music
Prepare to be captivated by an extraordinary evening where art, culture, and music intertwine seamlessly! Presented by talented artist Ben Clayton, entry to this enchanting event is only $5 at the door, offering you a passport to a mesmerizing journey guided by the whispers of the ancients.
As the night unfolds, the opening music sets the tone for the evening, transporting you into a world where art and music meld into a singular, captivating experience. Ben Clayton's narration follows, weaving a compelling narrative that ties together the shrunken head practices from Colombia with the mystical traditions of Haitian and low-country Voodoo and Hoodoo. His words paint a vivid picture, connecting the ancient rituals of preservation and transformation with the spiritual beliefs and practices of these rich cultural traditions.
Be spellbound by the enthralling performances of Los Bichos, Anitra Opera Diva, with Louis Clausi opening and Stabulous closing the night. The haunting and operatic vocals of Anitra Opera Diva, accompanied by Louis Clausi's multifaceted musical talents and percussion, promise to create a mesmerizing experience that perfectly complements the artistic journey of the evening.
What makes this event even more fascinating is the art on display—a unique spiritual merging of Colombian Shrunken Head's called Tsantsas with Haitian and low-country Voodoo and Hoodoo beliefs, created by Ben Clayton. Each piece is a testament to this fusion, adding an extra layer of mystique to the evening. And for art enthusiasts, seize the chance to bid on Ben Clayton's exquisite artistic representations of the Tsantsas in a thrilling silent auction.
To conclude the night, Stabulous will captivate you with their distinctive song, leaving you with a final, unforgettable impression.
