There, he had a strange experience. Back to his village, a wise tells him that he is condemned to die. Unless he makes the choice to go to meet the spirit and himself. For this, they will write on the whole body some sacred texts that will help him in his search in the forest. </i>But what will he find there, now dressed with these words? And in which dance will he be moved?</p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Au_nom_du_corps_52" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/67022/Au_Nom_du_Corps_52.jpg"></p> <p> Photo : © David AYOUN</p> <p>  </p> <p> <u><strong>Shooting location : </strong></u></p> <p>  </p> <p> Bordering Mahinadi River, in the countryside, near Vadodara (Gujarat in India), nature has enough water to deploy with strangeness.
