The work proposes a relationship between the human body and the quila, an endogenous Wallmapu plant, hermaphrodite and bisexual. Its flowering is synchronous with other chylas and this is also the end of its life cycle. The quilas were also the wall that nature itself imposed to prevent the colonization of the native forest. The video performance proposal proposes us to dismantle the binary logics that have been built on nature and bodies, seeing in the quila, a non-binary power.
