Penetrated by creatures inhabiting tales from collective imagination, she becomes the playground and the battlefield of feminine entities fighting over the same territory. Her body, never exposed entirely, is deconstructed, dismantled in a primary and insatiable bestiary, threatening its own sovereignty. Is she a witch? A spider-woman, a goddess, a she-wolf or a carnivorous plant? And will they triumph over the woman they colonized? The Magma Chamber is a discourse without words, a cry without voice, that tells us the violence and the ambivalence contained in the archetypes structuring female identity. Written by
