The first breath is emotional. The born child’s first breath is often accompanied by a shout. 

The second breath, as a metaphorical life scaled inner journey, can be oriented towards acceptance, healing and love. 

We can shed, leave behind us part of ourselves that doesn’t belong to us anymore. Unmask the layers of experiences to go back to our inner pure oneself. Just the essence of love, through the breath.

Live performance at la Caserne, Paris

Bark Skin, a neo-mythology figure, unites forest and humanity through intricate mirror-like connections. Ancient spirit reawakens, nudging modern minds to recall our intertwined journey. This hybrid enigma sparks vital change, jolting our ailing world, where nature's voice wanes.
