Macnas 2023

In the legend of La Loba, a wild Wolf-Woman roams the world, collecting scattered bones of animals, humans, and demigods. Under the moon's glow, she weaves a mystical song, reviving the fading stories and becoming a guardian of lost tales.

Rebecca had the privilege of returning to Macnas as a COLLIDE Artist
