In an obscure light, a mysterious entity faces us. This chimera mutates, moves and interacts with its environment, eliciting animal, mineral and plant life. An intimate evolution ensues. The spectator is captivated by optical illusions and morphing apparitions: a galloping headless creature becomes a delicate insect, which in turn becomes a creeping alien architecture. It is revealed that the entity is in fact two bodies behaving as one, a body that unfolds and recoils, representing abstract and evocative figures. The performers, enthralled by equations of touch and weight, multiply the possibilities, inverting natural forces with games of balance and symmetry, in search of a common centre of gravity. Sensuous and disturbing, brutal and fragile, “Phasmes” invents new acrobatic language, developed from the raw, tactile and transmutable body, to question the place of humans in nature.
