Community Project
Suspiros, played out with children from Melchor Ocampo School in the community of El Zapotalito, is a performance staged on the lagoon, featuring an island made of ocarinas that the students themselves crafted to call out to the lagoon and connect with their environment. The flutes, made using papaya molds, floated together on the lagoon, emitting their sounds. Meanwhile, the participating children approached in a boat, playing their own ocarinas. The sessions included exercises to heighten sensitivity to sound perception and explore the various possibilities of recording and reinterpreting them. The experience was captured on video, and a final version was edited and shared with the school community, becoming part of the Casa Wabi collection.
