Úlulu means placenta in forro or lúngwa santomé. According to an ancient ritual in São Toméan culture, the úlulu is planted, along with the umbilical cord, in the family's large backyard. In this way, according to the oldest generations, children grow up and travel the world but always know how to return to the land of their birth.

In this performance, three creature-creators evoke music, movement, poetry and landscape in the search for cords of transmission and nourishment, while speculating and repeating rituals to harmonize collapse and regeneration, and raise questions: What if belonging to non-human geographies is a solution in the face of looming extinction? How can this be done without wasting the memory of rituals useful for this transmutation? Where can we leave clues for a possible escape in the direction of return?
