In a faraway land, deserving spirits are resting under the canopy, unaware of
humanity's gradual extinction. Sometimes, to distract themselves, they argue
fiercely, tear each other apart and are recomposed by uttering small cries or long hootings. Elsewhere, certain strange customs persist, such as the ancestral ritual of the magic lantern… of which only the sanctuaries remain.
In una terra lontana, gli spiriti meritevoli si riposano sotto la canopea, ignorando la progressiva estinzione dell’umanità. Ogni tanto, per distrarsi, si pizzicano ferocemente, si lacerano e si ricompongono emettendo piccole grida o lunghi ululati. Altrove, alcune strane usanze persistono, come il rituale ancestrale della lanterna magica... di cui rimangono però solo i santuari.
