The Council is a temple. A collective, common temple. An intimate place where we can observe, feel and hear the house of the santinhas. The santinhas are small clay figures that act as amulets for the people for whom they are intended. They are female bodies, authentic healers, who, through their magical powers, their attention, their wings, magnifying glasses, plants, tears – above all their presence – heal people. They make them dance, or cry, or sleep, or feel the sun in their bellies, or contemplate, or stay – to have the courage to do something they want, need. Here we see their home, their world, their objects – we hear the atmosphere where they prepare cures, where they exchange help, where they eat together, where they share a home. We won’t know the time of their collective meetings in this temple. For now, the santinhas are out and about, with each person.
