Hain ist ein traditioneller Einweihungsritus der Sek'Nam, bekannt auch als Ona, Ureinwohner Süd-Argentiniens. Dieser heilige Brauch markierte die Einführung der Jugendlichen in das Erwachsenenleben. Die jungen Kandidaten ( Kloketen ) wurden in den Wald geschickt, um ihr Überlebensgeschick zu verbessern. Dort trafen sie die Shoorts , als mythische Geister maskierte Männer, die sich, bemalte Körper, schwere Bewegungen und vollkommene Stille kombinierend, bemühten, Faszination und Panik zu erzeugen.Mit Elementen dieses Rituals realisiert Minexio III eine Improvisation mit verschiedenen elektrischen und akustischen, konventionellen und unkonventionellen Instrumenten.

Hain is a traditional initiation rite of the Selk'Nam (also known as Ona), a native people living in the very south of Argentina. This sacred ceremony marked the initiation of children into adult life. The young candidates (kloketen) were sent alone to the woods to improve their survival skills. There they would come across the shoorts, men disguised as mythical spirits who, combining body painting, grave movements and utter silence, aimed to generate fascination and panic.
Drawing conceptually on this ritual, Minexio III will perform an improvisation piece using various conventional and non-conventional electric and acoustic instruments.
