PARASITE explores themes of parasite manipulation and effects of parasites on their host organisms, in order to examine ideas of choice, destiny, desire and identity. The project blends circus, theater, dance and biology into an original movement-based performance, and invites the audience to discover different facets of infection and madness on stage. The show questions, pokes fun at, and draws on both scientific research and our own personal experiences.
From the human to the ladybug, from the rat to the cat, from Chinese pole to song : we explore through the body what happens in the mind.
