400 Rabbits (2019)
Contemporary dance performance
This work is part of an ongoing research series exploring contradiction, transformation, and the collective unconscious.
400 Rabbits is a duet about paradoxes—of emotions, relationships, and existence.
Through movement, memory, and play, the piece explores leaving and returning, remembering and forgetting, losing and finding, laughing and crying. The rabbits become guides into spaces of contradiction, where opposites collide and ultimately form a unity.
The performance resists translation into words, inviting the audience instead into an experience of contradiction as wholeness, of multiplicity as one.
