Collaboration of Digital Artist Chris Ziegler with Dancer Unita Gay Galiluyo and Composer Hugo Paquete.

Ovid's ‘pygmalion’ redefined - a body in morphogenesis. A solo performance, where the dancer is using digital, visual, sensory sonic and also material interactions to create a corpus of images and generated sounds.

“Corpus” is about the moving body as a visual and acoustic phenomenon. It reveals only the least necessary to create a visual and sonic poetry, which gives the viewer space for imagination.

The dance has three parts as a trilogy: The performance begins with an invisible body, dancing in a interactive kinetic light costume. In the second part the dancer is feeling and filling another’s body skin. The dancer’s own skin is partially exposed inside a cocoon of the third part. The cocoon tears apart, the dance concludes with elements of the first parts, where dance become a entirely acoustic remembrance of a past dance, concluding a circle of mediated sensational events.

聲響與發光的裝置抵抗著緊繃的現實，如破繭而出的劇烈突變，交織出希臘神話「畢馬龍」故事裡藝術家瘋狂愛上他雕刻的象牙少女，最終感動了神祇，賦予雕像生命，以肉身回報藝術家的愛與狂熱。
