VEHUIAH 1
Music Short Movie, 13'39min, 2024
Brief Synopsis
This work is a music short film for the sound piece “VEHUIAH 1,” created by the artist VAYA after receiving messages from the voice of an angel. VEHUIAH, a warrior of light and sacred alchemist, calls society to embrace transformation for a more evolved world, sharing a message of deep love.
The story follows three characters: an angel, a shaman, and a dancer. The shaman, having overcome profound inner struggles, guides the dancer, who symbolizes the modern individual facing crises. The angel imposes trials on the dancer to spark awakening, leading to a transformative journey where the dancer ultimately gains self-awareness by viewing herself externally.
This tale reflects a universal journey of growth and transformation. Through trials, we transcend ourselves, gaining new insights that can inspire the audience. We hope the performance resonates, offering viewers a moment of connection and inspiration.
