La Culebra is a performance by WangShui in collaboration with Alberto Bustamente co-produced with La Biennale di Venezia for the 60th International Art Exhibition Finissage, with the support and collaboration of Kuboraum.
La Culebra is set within WangShui’s monumental installation Lipid Muse, a chamber-like installation, which features their Cathexis paintings exploring the serpent as a cipher for knowledge, violence, and love, the performance echoes the story of the Tlaloc monolith.
La Bruja de Texcoco—wearing costumes by Bárbara Sánchez-Kane— embodies the serpent, her voice moving fluidly through Indigenous Mexican music traditions, orchestral choruses, and contemporary club sounds, weaving time and space with the frequency of love.
