ISLAND OF LOST SOULS

Island of Lost Souls Tribute to Music & to Ibiza

About Me

"Scapegoat"... For Ever 8+)......I Love this Crazy twisted Island Eivissa... I Love my exravagant... unusual... sometimes weird friends... In fact... I adore them 8+)Thanks to everyone for your co-operation in this complicated project, the film/extended videoclip "Island of Lost Souls"It will be a tribute to all of You... Some great Belgian musicians/DJ's/Bands.... Music exclusively by Belgian bands, artists and Dj's."Island of Lost Souls" is an experimental film... an extended videoclip. Most images were filmed in Ibiza.------------------------------------------------------ ----- ----------------------- KIKA DA SILVA BORN AGAIN IN THE ISLAND OF THE LOST SOULSThe clouds give way under the strength of a sun which seems determined to look down from its privileged heights on a mystical and inspiring Es Vedrá. The rays of the triumphant sun pierce the marine depths, beaming warmth and new life in ‘Island of the Souls’.Kika Da Silva & Jörgen Sonck describe the moments of calm and tranquillity in which “we feel protected” to introduce this visual project ‘Island of Lost Souls’, an extended videoclip which aims to tell some “story that came knocking at the door” of this Belgian artist Kika.A story which tells of disappointment in Love, Love itself, Revenge, Opportunity and Friendship through a connection between the Island of Ibiza and the music of her native land, unleashed in an absolute externalisation of her emotions. Da Silva cannot help but be fascinated by other people and their lives and she is a self confessed enthusiast for all those who have crossed her path. She renders homage to them in her latest project. It is her own elaborate demonstration of affection for everything she loves. Because Kika loves, and she loves a lot and that is reflected in the emphasis of her words. However, in order to love it is essential to take into account that “good times do not last forever” and to discover that “repression is refusing to listen to your own nature”.With this vital basis it would be crazy to try to separate ‘Island of the Lost Souls’ from the story of her life, when in reality any creative project bears the most intimate stamp of its creator. On this occasion the viewer easily identifies with the story, because is there anyone who has not suffered for Love...? Frustration and anger, submission, deceit, long hours of waiting and finally an eye opening positive reaction, bringing an infinite number of new possibilities.With the indisputable help of her best friend Jörgen Sonck, and the “stimulus and impact created by the island of Ibiza”, Kika, as absolute central character, has managed to relate a story of thwarted love through a selection of twelve tracks composed by Belgians in Belgium, although at times they can appear to be an advertisement for Ibiza and its qualities. However, the ambassadorial spirit would achieve its apogee were it not for the incursion of elements which make the island what it is, as it is felt and experienced. Ibiza would not be the same without its beaches, without its Can Eivissencs, without its roads and paths, without its marine depths, without its port, without its vertiginous drag queens platforms…Obviously the result would not be the same if Kika did not have that delightful mixture of flashy punk which far removes her visual composition from any charge of cliché or stereotype. Nor would it be the same if everything in her life had been perfect: “That way the videoclip would be full of flowers”, she confirms. And obviously, ‘Island of the Lost Souls’ is far from having any lucrative porpoise: “I don’t want to make money out of this”. No, instead Da Silva plans to use her last project as a “visiting card” with two simple and emphatic objectives, namely that “it will travel and be shown in as many cultural centres as possible” and of course, she concludes, “that people will like it”.Thanks 2 Elena Sanchez

Help is welcome. ----------------------KIKA DA SILVA RENACER EN LA ISLA DE LAS ALMAS PERDIDASLas nubes sucumben ante la fuerza de un sol que parece ansioso por ver, desde una posición privilegiada, la mística e inspiradora Es Vedrá. El astro vencedor clava entonces sus rayos en el fondo marino para engendrar con calor una nueva vida en la ‘Isla de las Almas Perdidas’.Así describe Kika Da Silva los momentos de calma y paz en los que “nos sentimos protegidos” para dar inicio a su último proyecto visual ‘Island Of The Lost Souls’, un video clip de larga duración que pretende contar la “historia que ha llamado a la puerta” de esta artista contemporánea Belga. Una historia concebida por el desamor que habla de amor, venganza, sugestión y amistad, a través de una conexión entre la isla de Ibiza y la música de su país natal y desatada por la exteriorización suprema de sus emociones.Da Silva no puede evitar sentirse fascinada por la gente y por sus vidas y se declara “fan” de aquellos que se han cruzado en su camino. A ellos, dice, rinde “homenaje” en su último proyecto. Es su particular y elaborada demostración de afecto a todo aquello que ama. Porque Kika ama, y mucho, y eso se refleja en el énfasis de sus palabras. Sin embargo, hace falta darse cuenta de que “los buenos momentos no duran toda la vida” y comprobar que “la represión es no escuchar a tu propia naturaleza”.Con una base vital de tal calibre parecería una locura intentar obviar que ‘The Island Of The Lost Souls’ se aparta del relato autobiográfico cuando en realidad cualquier proyecto creativo lleva acuñado el sello más íntimo de su autor. En esta ocasión, el espectador puede fácilmente identificarse con la narración, porque, ¿quién no ha sufrido por amor? Rabia, sumisión, engaño, largas horas de espera y finalmente una reacción positiva que abre los ojos y con ellos las puertas a infinidad de nuevas posibilidades.Con la indiscutible ayuda de su “mejor amigo”, Jörgen Sonck, y el “acelerón de sentimientos que provoca la isla de Ibiza” Kika, como absoluta protagonista, ha sido capaz de explicar el dolor de una historia de amor frustrada a través de una selección de doce temas hechos por belgas y en Bélgica, aunque en algunos momentos parezcan producciones con un propósito comercial para ilustrar las cualidades de la pitiusa mayor. Sin embargo, el espíritu embajador no alcanzaría su cúspide si no fuera por la incursión de los elementos que hacen a la isla tal y como es, tal y como se siente. Ibiza no sería lo mismo sin sus playas, sin sus ca eivissencs, sin sus caminos, sin sus fondos marinos, sin su puerto, sin las vertiginosas plataformas de drag queens…El resultado, desde luego, no sería el mismo si en Kika no existiera esa entraña macarra y punk con la que aleja a su composición visual de tópicos y estereotipos. Tampoco sería igual si en su vida todo hubiera sido perfecto: “Entonces el vídeo clip estaría lleno de Flores”, asegura. Y seguramente, distara mucho de lo que es en sí el propósito de ‘Island of Lost Souls’ fuera lucrativo: “No quiero ganar dinero de esto”. Pero no, Da Silva utilizará su último proyecto como “tarjeta de presentación”, con dos simples y contundentes objetivos, “que viaje y se proyecte en cuantos más centros culturales mejor” y, por supuesto, concluye, “que a la gente le guste”...Kika Da Silva xxx ----------------------------------------------------------- por Elena Sanchez
