Elysia

Elysia explores the invisible worlds of gut and soil microbiomes, revealing our inherent hybridity, rooted in deep symbiosis between humans, microbes, and plants.

Blending choreography, sculpture, ecological fibre art, eco-somatics, myth, and microbial science, the installation features large wearable sculptures made from dried and living plants, compostable and recycled materials that come alive as dancers and audiences merge with them.

Elysia reawakens our need for an embodied awareness of our multispecies interconnection in a time of climate crisis.
