Liquified Dream of a Dragonfly
(Site-specific solo dance piece, with installation and live music: 30 min)
in the corner of a garden
it appears
it keeps changing
larva-chrysalis- nymph-dragonfly- a woman made of pollen
the crack where the shell starts melting, freeing oneself from inertia
reaching out-
is the love of a snake/human/butterfly-mother…
Her eye turning into her baby son’s magic pacifier
I exist
by being eaten by insects
disappear to appear in another place
A new mythology may be born again
The performance is a site-specific dance piece with installation.
The dance consists in metamorphosis. The boundaries get lost in-between, like the second skin, the third skin, like of a nymph molting again and again and again. What is it to yield to metamorphosis, to be partially human, partially insect, partially space and to share this insect-like happiness and love?
The performance suggests ruptures for static ambient and invites to share joy in metamorphosing.
