maré hieronimus | Dance Art | The Sacred Body

Directed and choreographed by site-specific choreographer Noémie Lafrance, the short film Melt depicts a delicate, sensual and dramatic experience of the physical body in exile and surrender. Perched on a wall and wrapped in sculptural beeswax and lanolin costumes that are slowly melting away, dancers progress in euphoria and exhaustion as if approaching the sun, melting until their souls escape their ephemeral bodies and disintegrate into light.
