Augusto Cascales
DirectorMy name is Augusto Cascales, I identify as non-binary, my preferred pronouns are He/They. I am a self-identifying deviant artist. My work spans across live art, photography and film. The research is grounded in queer, feminist and decolonial theories, with a focus on magic, sexuality, and healing. I am interested in ritual, as both a carrier of personal stories, as well as a tool to work with others. This manifests more specifically in the performances, as an investigation into soul therapy. These works are often bathed in colourful lights and set in motion by trance inducing soundtracks.
