Chile's mysterious, beautiful Atacama Desert is a world as strange as the moon. As Lake Sagaris journeys from modern-day Santiago northward into Atacama, exploring a landscape long scarred by foreign mining operations, she interweaves the story of the Inca princess, La Tirana. In the 16th century, in fierce resistance to the Spanish invaders, La Tirana fled into the Atacama to create her own community. Legend has it she died at the hands of her people moments before her marriage to a Christian captive. Now, each year, tens of thousands gather to dance at the Festival of La Tirana, the Beautiful Tyrant of the Atacama. While searching for La Tirana, Lake Sagaris portrays the Atacama of today: salt lakes full of flamingos, fantastic rock formations, geysers, perfect miniature oases, and countless archeological relics, including some of the oldest mummies found on earth. "Bone and Dream" is her magnificent tribute to all those who have ventured there and melded their hopes to its surface of rock and bone.
