Ritual. Transformation. Rebirth.
Ancient folklore collides with imagined futures in this bold and visually captivating dance performance. Beginning with an act of physical endurance, three performers push their bodies to the limit before embarking on a journey of transformation.
Drawing on female archetypes that have endured across generations- witches, mermaids, mothers, snakes, and warriors - the work explores how stories of womanhood are carried, inherited, and reimagined. As these figures emerge and dissolve, the performers navigate shifting landscapes of power, identity, and community, revealing the tension between tradition and technological progress.
