Filmed in Hertford, United Kingdom, Between Worlds and Memories – Birth, Death, and Resurrection is an art film by Tigo Ayres that leads the viewer on a poetic journey through the cycles of birth, death, and resurrection.
The work unfolds as a living extension of the Between Worlds and Memories series — a deep dive into the layers of identity, ancestry, and transformation. Through ritualised movement, painted masks, and symbolic objects, Ayres summons both personal and collective mythologies, giving form to universal archetypes and Latin American traditions. The jaguar’s silence, the serpent’s patience, and the firebird’s promise of rebirth emerge on screen, weaving mysticism and psychology into a narrative of resistance and renewal.
An Afro-Brazilian, gay, and immigrant artist, Tigo Ayres lives between London and Natal, carrying with him nearly two decades of experience in the United Kingdom. Trained as a psychologist, he began his artistic path in theatre as an actor and producer, exploring gesture, voice, and ritual as tools of transformation. Painting later emerged as a natural extension of this journey, allowing him to choreograph silence, colour, memory, and myth in new visual dimensions. His practice moves fluidly between visual art, performance, spirituality, and psychoanalysis, always shaped by symbolic listening, Afro-Indigenous ancestry, and poetic resistance.
Part painting, part theatre, part dance, this art film inhabits the liminal space between the visible and the invisible — where colour becomes a weapon, song becomes a shield, and art reveals itself as a language of survival.
This is not a film to be merely watched, but to be entered — through the senses, through memory, through the bones.
