Hélichryse (Helichrysum italicum):
A resilient Corsican plant known as the “immortal” flower; used in cosmetics for anti-aging properties and in phytotherapy to treat physical and emotional wounds.
Hélichryse is a 360° immersive performance exploring menopause as a transformative embodied experience. Combining choreography, spatialized sound, video, and sculptural costume, the work draws from testimonies of women across cultures to create an intimate sensory environment where audiences move freely and encounter the aging female body as a site of power, mutation, and renewal.
Petrikor Danse focuses on interdisciplinary collaborative work. Its mandate is to provide audiences with complete artistic experiences that generate a place of reflection and dialogue. Petrikor seeks to democratize art by combining different art forms and investing in socially engaged subjects.
