in a dark forest partly illuminated is a new performance created by dustin maxwell. It is a mix of dance ritual and visual art, where the body is both object and subject sensing into the unknown; both sculpture and transceiver radio picking up messages from the void. It is an invitation to partake in the painpleasure of exposure, submerging into shadow and emerging exalted.

shadowbloom by XUE and Mervin Wong is a soft spiral into the uncanny. The work unearths quiet stirrings and subterranean memories.

META GENDER by Hélène Barrier is the theatrical result of collective research centered on gender, body, music and performance deconstruction. It offers to the dancer a prosthetic body, which leaves everyone free of projecting their own body fantasy.
