Still Life immerses the audience in a sensory journey where contemporary dance, textiles, and photography intersect. 

An installation of bold red fabric, printed with oversized still life images, reinterprets this traditional genre in a strikingly contemporary context. A delicate, intricate soundscape enhances the atmosphere, creating a multi-sensory environment inhabited by two performers. 

The piece brings to life the themes of time, materiality, and mortality, while exploring the resilience and vulnerability of the human body. Still Life also addresses the historical representation of women in art, challenging conventions and inviting the audience to reconsider the relationship between bodies, objects, and space.

*The August 16th performance of Still Life will be followed by a brief post-show Q&A.
