Tarahumara are a tribe of Indians living in northern Mexico, in the state of Chihuahua. In 1936, the French poet and director Antonin Artaud went to them to taste the "Siguri Way" - to join the secrets of the priests who use the hallucinogen peyote in their rituals. On the book about his experience, Artaud began working in a psychiatric hospital, which was concluded shortly after returning from Mexico. * * Taruamara's whole life revolves around the erotic peyote ritual. The root of peyote is hermaphrodite, it resembles both male and female genitalia. The mystery of the Indians lies precisely in this ritual. Peyotl returns the self to its true origins. You no longer have any doubts about who you are. The Taraumara Indians live as if they are already dead. They do not perceive reality and draw magical powers from the contempt they feel for civilization. Antonin Artaud .
