Nymphalis Antiopa is a work of contemporary dance that unveils the creative complicity between two artists, exploring the dialogue of contrasts and interactions. This choreographic performance emphasises dance as a universal language, where two bodies intertwine, defy balance and fluidity, explore the border between movement and stillness. Against a utopic setting built by themselves, the protagonists explore dance with movements that intertwine and break apart, in unique and fluid expression of their union and of their individualities. An emotional journey, accompanied by an original score composed exclusively for this choreography, with a sound intensity that multiplies and amplifies gestures and that plays with the scales of perceived vibration, seeking to create several layers of sensorial experience.
