Release of Federico Cecchetti film Jíkuri

Overview

Director Federico Cecchetti has released the film ‘Jíkuri: Viaje al país de los Tarahumaras’, which explores the 1936 journey of French poet and theorist Antonin Artaud to the Sierra Tarahumara. The film utilizes a dual-timeline structure, moving between the Rarámuri rituals and the use of jícuri (peyote) in Mexico and Artaud’s eventual admission to a psychiatric hospital in France.

Rather than a conventional biography, the production focuses on the sensory experience and the clash between Western modernity and Rarámuri spirituality. Following a feature at the Guadalajara International Film Festival, the film is scheduled for release in Mexican theaters on September 17, coinciding with the 90th anniversary of Artaud’s visit to Mexico.
