Fractals exist in all things, from the smallest elements of nature to the grandest patterns of the universe. Characterised by their infinite and self-similar nature, they serve as a catalyst shaping spatial patterns and relationships, while simultaneously underpinning geometries of ritual, interconnection, competition and identity.
Inspired by the inherent beauty of these never-ending patterns and how they influence our connections, 'Fractal' is a movement meditation that aims to unveil a glimpse into the hidden connections that shape human experience.
________________
'Fractal' is presented within a program of three works, collectively titled 'before, between, beyond'.
" 'before, between, beyond' speaks through sensuous languages and techniques of body and design to evoke states of play, poetry and politics.
From the inter-cellular to the human-animal, from the concept of home to the reality of dispossession, these works perform ideas that take hold of us, that bind us together and that keep us awake, propelling us towards unforeseen futures."
