Scenography for the dance collective LA TRESSE
This work invites audiences on a psychedelic voyage to a universe which is both reflection and refraction of the world as we know it. A microcosm where past, present, and future co-exist, this community proposes an empathetic utopia, playful and fluid in its existence. Drawing upon the intelligence of nature, the work enlivens the senses and employs imagination, curiosity, and sensuality to conceive of an adapted world.
