Summary
A recurring motif in the show suggesting that authentic wisdom and spiritual power reside in what polite society discards: broken language, shameful truths, the experiences of the outcast and unseen. The 'gutter hymn' represents a threshold between what culture accepts and what it denies, and Matangi is invoked as the ruler of that threshold.
