Catabasi is intimately interrelated with Anabasi, constituting the second phase of the search for the self. Etymologically, "catabasis" means the descent, the return (as opposed to "anabasis": the ascent). In this film, the Woman tries to return to herself, to the depths of physiological life, to rediscover her lost identity in her own body through dance. Dazzling images spring from his liberating dance, culminating in a rite of anthropological origin (some African peoples still living at an ethnological level practice a similar dance, based on jumps upwards). In the body, the Woman finds unsuspected energies buried, releasing a vitalism that contemporary capitalist society tends to exorcise as its insidious enemy.
