National Premiere

Inspired by the medieval allegory of the scented panther, this solo explores themes of disappearance, extinction and the traces bodies leave behind. Through a slow, hypnotic process of transformation, the performer gradually embodies an elusive form of animality, poised between attraction and withdrawal, gentleness and ferocity. Driven by the repetition of a single rhythmic gesture, the work unfolds as a darkly poetic landscape where presences emerge, dissolve and return in ever-shifting forms.
