Echoes is a dance solo that plays with perception and imagination. Wearing an unusual costume, I step into a playful and mysterious universe where the body can be seen in fragments rather than as a whole. At times the costume magnifies small details, drawing the eye to subtle, minimal movements as if under a lens. At other moments, it dissolves the body’s unity, transforming fragments into something animal-like, a creature of its own. Shifting between concealment and revelation, the costume becomes both a mask and an instrument — reshaping the body, altering its presence, and opening new choreographic possibilities

 

the dancer’s body, sometimes as a transformative instrument over the body that manipulates it.
