Hélichryse is an immersive choreographic installation that explores menopause as a site of physical, emotional, and social transformation. At the intersection of dance, video, and spatialized sound, the work invites audiences into a circular environment where perception becomes fluid and deeply personal.

At the center of the installation, a performer emerges from a fragile landscape of translucent textures and projected imagery. Through a visceral and poetic choreography, she embodies the often-silenced symptoms of menopause: heat, disorientation, dryness, loss, and ultimately, emancipation. Her body transforms, oscillating between vulnerability and power, realism and metamorphosis.

Surrounding the audience, a constellation of whispered voices ⎯ testimonies collected from women across the world ⎯ unfolds through an immersive sound system. These intimate narratives create shifting zones of listening, encouraging each spectator to navigate the space and construct their own experience.

Blending magical realism with somatic practice, Hélichryse challenges dominant narratives around aging and the female body. The work reclaims menopause as a threshold: not of decline, but of transformation, knowledge, and liberation.
At once ritual and installation, Hélichryse offers a space where bodies, voices, and stories, long kept in silence, can finally emerge, resonate, and be witnessed.
