CHORA – The Void as Origin
Associate Artist | Co-produced by Oriente Occidente
A space before form. Chora takes empty space as its origin: not absence, but a living field from which movement emerges. Seven bodies move through it together, between listening and intensity: their breathing amplifies, their gestures grow and multiply, and the dance becomes intense. Small pauses expand into a collective flow. Space is not a backdrop, but a presence that sustains and transforms. What seems empty reveals itself to be full of life.
Their dance is unconventional, full of energy, fascinating!
