This Dance Theatre performance unfolds like a lucid dream inside a house of mirrors—where memory, myth, and impulse refract through the body in motion. I treat my body and its memories as the primary source of the work. Identity stays fluid, shaped by forces within and around me, constantly shifting and colliding.
Rather than performing to be seen, I live inside the work. Images rise from the subconscious as texture, color, rhythm, and symbol. I stretch pieces of identity across my skin, becoming visible through change. The choreography blurs reality and imagination, using speed, distortion, and space to pull you into a shifting sense of time and place. What emerges is a dream-dance of transformation and transmission.
I invite you in as a co-witness—into a tilted, dream-charged space shaped by memory, mystery, identity, and freedom. Here, questions slip into answers, the body leads, and becoming matters more than appearing, echoing the small, daily dances of being human—so vivid and compelling they begin and end within themselves.
An autobiography.
A spell. A spectacle.
My passage through alchemy.
An evening in the mirror.
