"The Violet Hour" is a new live performance featuring four dancers that draws inspiration from the ecological ethos of Ovid’s epic poem "Metamorphoses." It aims to construct a posthuman choreographic narrative focusing on the relationships and entanglements between human and non-human agencies.

Taking seven archetypal female characters from "Metamorphoses" as vehicles, each character represents a different species of flower or plant, including those on the edge of extinction.

Combining dance, digital video, and song with lyrics co-authored by artificial intelligence, "The Violet Hour" will establish unique choreographic logics guided by the idea of human anatomies and desires intertwining with those of plants and artificial intelligence.

Featuring sound and music by Samir Kennedy and 3D animation by Alexander Pannier.
