Apertura
From an underwater grotto the "guru" arrives to preside over birth from a mineral cave, then to guide the new-born, first through endless doors and corridors, then monstrous jaws and barricades that cause the fragmentation of the woman. Then she emerges from the test by fire, saved and made whole again by water and the "guru" who continues on through the final apertura.
