Choreographer: Anabella Lenzu / Video Projection Design: Todd Carroll / Direction: Daniel Pettrow / Costumes: Jennifer Johanos / Dance Artist:  Anabella Lenzu / Duration: 15 min

 

"Out of the folds of women" wrestles with the ideas of exploration, introspection and refraiming a woman after becoming a mother, and being an immigrant. Lenzu's dance theater piece uses drawing, spoken word and video projections to tell a personal vision of femininit, and what it means to be a woman today

Everything is melting in modern society. Everything becomes liquid and is transformed. Human being becomes an ‘unstable point’ in a world where nothing has time to solidify. We try to stay afloat but we are constantly transformed by  the liquid society. We sink progressively, without being able to re-emerge.
