This film is about a personal shamanic journey. This is also a haunting visual poem. Two souls in one world, one breath, one life, one realm. The underwater realm becomes the environment where this merging of souls takes place. The dance emulates the movement of water. Dancer Penny Couchie moves like the ocean. She becomes the ocean and the life within it. According to the Haida legend, the undersea realm is where human souls resort after death. Using this statement as a concept, exploration of the human soul is investigated. We will be bridged together, into one living being, yet moving as individuals, sharing the same space. This film is meant to explore worlds we cannot experience in captivity. Worlds that are created from nature itself. Each viewer will experience a different journey.
