Incorporeal Species

As the Earth undergoes its sixth mass extinction, we are losing more than plants and animals — corporeal species. We are also losing ways of feeling, imagining, and being human — incorporeal species. This visceral choreographic work dives into the heart of that double disappearance.

Through raw physical dance, unfamiliar body transformations, and faces that become living masks, the performers channel strange presences that seem to emerge from beyond the self—echoes of what has been lost and what still refuses to disappear.

Fierce, haunting, and transformative, the work is not a lament but a search: for what remains wild, singular, and alive beneath the pressures of conformity. An immersive encounter with absence, metamorphosis, and resistance, it invites audiences to confront what is vanishing—and what still persists at the edge of recognition.
