Small wooden house nested under the chestnut tress on top of a hill. Strong light is penetrating in the room. Giving light to the place and to four human beings, two of them woman, two of them man. Interaction between them is strong. Is growing. Reaching its peak. No control. The power is too strong. Fear. The door opens and a person in panic leaves the room. Running headlessly down the hill.
That was the first shamanic theatre. An idea, a try, no structure, no control.
Film starts with reconstruction of the shamanic ritual later called Shamanic Theatre which took place near Graz, Styria and was initiated by Dr. Sylvia Marianne Wohlfarter.
Shamanism is based on structures, on knowledge and experiences, passed trough centuries from father to son, from mother to daughter and yet it stays subjective, dependent on person and his/her spirits. Shamanic Theatre is a form of discovering mans own spiritual powers and dimensions but above all efficient healing method.
It is telling the story of people who realized that ordinary reality is just a little fragment in immense web of different realities existing. About people who learned through their shamanic work of spirits, of their powers, which are compared to ours, immense. About people who trust in this spirits and believe that with their help it is possible to heal, to help, to solve problems, be it of personal or greater scale.
In film not only the image is the storyteller, but everything that there is: metaphors, associations, hidden memories, ideas and smells of the future. Sound of the drum, the whistle, moments of silence. Rhythm. And the spaces between where the whole is happening.
