Mercurials
Danger lurks behind a mesmerizing beauty.
Exploring the psychology of grandiose delusion, made visible in the elongated golden hands of the dancers. The performers change moods unpredictably, moving quickly from soft grace to cutting speed and precision. Drawing inspiration from the element mercury, a toxic metallic liquid.
