SUMMARY:

There is something unsettling about certain images of rituals. The naked bodies, the circular movements, and the moment of ecstasy capable of disconnecting the individual from their own body. In these images, this passage of going beyond oneself becomes visible. Whether in an American film from 2015, a Spanish painting from the 18th century, or a Dutch triptych from the 16th century, there is a power that survives time and manifests itself: the survival of an imaginary or a symbolism that has long been commonly associated with Bacchanalia, ancient secret rites of worship to the god Bacchus. This work aims to study the relationship of these images with the aesthetics of the Dionysian. Drawing from authors such as Mircea Eliade, Paul Ricoeur, and Georges Bataille, I investigate a symbolic connection between audiovisual works such as "The Witch" (2015), "Climax" (2018), and "The Devils" (1971), with a contemporary Dionysian, a symbolic compilation that points to the meaning of the Dionysian. How and why has it survived in Western visual culture, and what does that tell us about our way of dealing with the sacred in the contemporary world?
