Polymorphic Microbe Bodies

Polymorphic Microbe Bodies is a multisensory dance work where audiences are invited to lie down, close their eyes, and travel into the microbial worlds inside their bodies. By de-emphasizing sight, the work proposes an experience of dance perceived through sound, vibration, smell, taste and sensation. The sounds of live food preparation, based on sounds of the body, form part of the soundscore, which is then offered to audiences afterwards to drink.
