El canto de la abubilla (2015) is a journey of inner search through drifting in different landscapes and exterior scenes that refer to the song of the heart. For Toni Serra / Abu Ali, its author, forgetting this song takes us to different landscapes of the soul characterised by a sense of loss and disorientation, wastelands of the soul and of cities where, in search of what we do not know, we sometimes find disturbing labyrinths. "Lost there, with the only hypnotic reference of the light, we ask for a way to continue living... An unwritten way, and at the same time a way and no other, a unique way for each human being...".

The screening of this piece will be accompanied by an intervention by Beatriz Regueira, who will reflect on the question: how can we continue to believe in the power of people? Beatriz's trajectory of research in the fields of art and contemporary thought has a particularly interesting intersection with her spiritual path through Buddhism. Therefore, from these fields, our guest will propose to understand ourselves from the ontological interdependence and transience, from which we can draw a field of coexistence between different and possible relations of "respectful conflict".
