Inori to the Sacred Prostitute represents a return to the ritual in search of the mythical, of the symbol, of the eternal. This rite of passage is tender, painful, erotic, hallucinating, violent, sanctifying, involving the personage in solitude of his being in a net between the profane and the sacred.

The center of this rite is the myth of the sacred prostitute. To restore her figure means to regain the true feminine with inherent values now lost in modern society. To recreate the image of the Goddess in our time is to reformulate totally our thinking, directing ourselves to a more human and integrated world.

In this path, the magic of the encounter is like a language of the initiated which integrates words and phonemes from primitive people, extinct people, future people.

Illud Tempus means "time now and always" in Latin. It also represents the atemporal telling of dreams, of unconscious time when God was a woman, a contemporary fairy tale.

Spoken words in different languages are used not only to tell these stories but also to weave intelligible phonemic texts combining sonic and semantic results.

Focusing on texts that expresses the female psyche through times, Illud Tempus explores, through music, theater, and body expression, this variety and diversity of cultures.
