«E doce morrer no mar» (It is so sweet to die offshore) wrote Jorge Amado in 1936 about Iémanja, the Goddess of the seas and the oceans who feeds men, but who is also fed by them; the one who entices fishermen to the depths of the ocean, to her unknown waters where they share her love nest. How is myth of Iemanja perpetuated nowadays? At Ilheus, in Brazil, there are many beliefs and legends
«E doce morrer no mar» (It is so sweet to die offshore) wrote Jorge Amado in 1936 about Iémanja, the Goddess of the seas and the oceans who feeds men, but who is also fed by them; the one who entices fishermen to the depths of the ocean, to her unknown waters where they share her love nest. How is myth of Iemanja perpetuated nowadays? At Ilheus, in Brazil, there are many beliefs and legends that feed into the often intangible ties that are forged between fishermen and the sea. AGUA VIVA is an invitation to dive into this universe of life and death, where myth and reality converge.
