Vulcânicas

This programme brings together three works that approach the volcano as territory and as a mythological, primitive agent—a force associated with erasure that contrasts with human ephemerality and vulnerability. Helena Girón and Samuel Delgado lead us into the depths of the La Corona volcanic tube in Lanzarote, where the earth’s interior has become a refuge and a place of resistance. On Pico Island, Francisca Manuel follows a group of women walking in search of a lost figure. In her first fiction feature, Macu Machín follows three sisters—her mother and aunts—in the Canary Islands, where their routines are shaped by sisterhood, fear and introspection.
