The gypsies have unusual rituals they follow in their lives, which may stem from their myths but have fascinated me a lot. They dance and sing for the dead. When one of their leaders dies, they dance for a long time, as much as the importance of the person they lost, and stay close to where he used to sit frequently. Their dances have sad rhythms like drums of death and war. The singing starts slowly and then speeds up, while the dance starts far away and then gets closer to where they lost their loved one. They are people surrounded by strangeness in everything. Their rituals and curses drive them without questions, which is why they live alone. They come and go without us sensing them.
