Translating an ancestral relationship with plants that is passed on to the artist, where the Pindó and his guardians express themselves, the suite of poems “Dans le ventre du Pindó” (In the belly of the Pindó) proposes a move away from the commonplaces we associate with the image “palm tree”. Pindó may write his poems in either French or Guaraní.
