“Colorless green ideas sleep furiously” is a sentence created by the linguist Noam Chomsky as an example of a sentence that is grammatically correct, but semantically nonsensical.
The Brazilian poet Haroldo de Campos, in his book Galaxias, appropriates this phrase, re-signifying it in describing the dance of Iansã, goddess of Brazilian Candomblé.
According to the Yoruba mythology, Iansã commands winds, storms and lightning. She is energy alive, pulsating and vibrant. She is the movement: "the goddess who sleeps dancing".
From this point of view, for someone who knows the Candomblé tradition, the sentence by Chomsky/Haroldo de Campos is grammatically correct and meaningful.
This piece, therefore, is inspired by this complex image that connects language, rite, myth and poetry. It is dedicated to Charles Silva, from Bahia, who shared with me some of the mysteries of the Afro-Brazilian drumming.
