Torita-encuetada (2023)

In the single-channel video performance Torita-encuetada (2023), Elyla engages in an anticolonial ceremony that evokes liberation from oppression through a fire-lit ritual inspired by the Nicaraguan cultural tradition of toro encuetado, where a bull-shaped frame filled with fireworks is carried through a festival during a ritualistic dance.
