This experimental piece is a dark and poetic fable that revives a forgotten legend from the Occitanie region in Southern France. Through Butoh dance and masked scenography, the film retraces the original story of the mysterious figure of La Baragonha and the dog-headed Saint Christopher. It serves as a contemporary homage to Occitanie’s rich intangible heritage and its tradition of totemic animals.
