On the Oaxacan coast, in a space between our world and heaven and hell, Goethe’s version of the Faust legend is echoed in stories of colonization, greed and the limitations of human perception; the distinction between what we can and cannot see is shown to be an illusion. Tales of shape-shifters, telepathic animals, how a man stole a moon and the clash between mankind and the spirit world all collide in Andrea Bussmann’s mesmerizing blend of myth and reality.
