Introduction by Manari Ushigua: We worked on the three strategies of the score

The first strategy is for opening our hearts, our minds and the spiritual doors that still exist in the world. The second part is to navigate over that world, where we need to come with a clear mind and begin to connect with the heart. After this, we try to put everything together and join in perfect balance, where the Earth, the natural world moves, to give a message from the Earth, from the natural movement of life. The final level involves closing and thanking the spiritual beings that helped guide us to our emotions, to heal us. So that we can close the score.
