It is through the songs that the Cipo's natural magic is inserted into the community's traditional culture. The forces of nature and culture are joined in the experience of ecstasy. The Cipo journey is an existential rite of passage, where the individual is released from a state of isolation, and reactivates, in a concrete practical and an imaginary inner fashion, the figure of the chorus, which everybody carries inside himself or herself and projects into the infinite space of the world. The Cipo journey, as portrayed in the serpent's song, acts as a means of connecting sender and addressee, voice and vision, body and soul, nature and culture, individual and collective, eternal return and continuous advancement. Through the Latin prefix per, 'movement through', it seems also to give new meaning to the term 'performance'.
