SYNOPSIS A Colombian video-contribution between the collective La Decanatura and the queer-artist Federica Burns presents the creation of the universe - the big bang - in a new way: Their work aims to subvert the lopsided vision of the white male sovereignty in the representation of the Creator in order to devise a god of ambiguity. As a hybrid being this god is neither male nor female but genderless, mestizo, playful, and plural has put on make-up and is dancing with a fire produced with a "Bon Bril" (kitchen steel wool sponges ) that is used as a fireworks in popular neighborhoods in Colombia and Brazil.
