ABOUT SHOW
Constant pulse, looking for life.
Shadows and light.
For light.
Four female bodies move through a landscape of vertigo, pulsation and exhaustion.
Choreography of shadows and light, nearness and absence, creates a living kaleidoscope that twists the audience’s perception of bodies’ presence, way of being.
Rapture is a ritual of effort — a conscious search for vertigo, for the moment when chaos and order can coexist. Through rhythm, light, and breath, the performance traces the fragile boundary between order and chaos, intimacy and exposure. In shifting shades of blue, Rapture becomes both a confession of a collective pulse, trembling at the edge of transformation.
Rapture invites the audience into a shared state of alertness and fragile sensitivity, where emotion becomes rhythm and rhythm becomes an encounter. What begins as a ritual of endurance expands into a meditation on being — on the constant effort to hold, to let go, and to find life again in the trembling afterglow.
