Souls

A woman performs aerial acrobatics on a hoop, hanging from a chain against a colorful, abstract background with paint splatter effects.

Souls explores the invisible dialogue between
memory, body, and inherited identity.
Through aerial movement and spatial dramaturgy,
the work asks what remains when performance becomes presence.

2026

Souls is a 40-minute interdisciplinary performance based on the idea that the body is an interface for the soul.

Through contemporary dance, aerial movement and visual elements, it explores the relationship between body and soul, the boundary between reality and imagined space, and what it means to live honestly within time and limitation.

The work unfolds as a living event shared with the audience.
