Yelkaram is a dance and video-mapping performance that focuses on Honduran Lenca indigenous rituals about weaving traditions and nature protection reinterpreted by a group of artists with Honduran heritage. The performers traveled to Lenca indigenous communities and collaborated with Murilpaz, a Lenca women indigenous organization, to exchange somatic explorations and rituals in rivers, mountains, and weaving workshops. The piece celebrates the strength of the Lenca women to recover and safeguard their traditions and natural resources in the face of extractivism.
