“RHIZOME” is an interactive audiovisual performance that delves into the intricate patterns present in nature, human bodies, cities, and societies. By integrating our bodies with the world around us, we uncover the underlying natural laws—flow, change, and breath—that bind all structures together. This exploration invites us to rediscover our relationship with both the world and our inner selves.
In the performance, The dancer’s movements unfold gradually, beginning with self-exploration, transitioning into a deeper awareness of their environment, and culminating in a harmonious integration with the visuals and sounds that respond to every movement. In the final phase, the dancer reaches out to the audience, inviting them to join and dissolve boundaries, transforming the space into a shared, immersive experience of interconnectedness.
The performance invites the audience to reconnect with both the world and their own bodies, embodying the rhythms and energy that define existence. This piece serves as a reminder of our intrinsic place within a larger order, dissolving the boundaries between self and surroundings.
