Mythosoma is a movement and text-based inquiry into how shock lives in the body — not as a single event, but as something ongoing, residual, and shapeshifting.
Across states of dissociation, absurdity, ritual, and silence, the performers encounter their own thresholds and encounter their pasts.
Drawing from somatic body systems, ConTact C.A.R.E principles, and shared lived experience, the performers move through stillness, collapse, sound, and spatial pressure.
They follow instinct more than idea. The work does not always seek catharsis. It holds space for pause, glitch, and quiet reconfiguration.
It asks:
What if trauma is not the wound, but the flinch?
What if the return to the body is not a breakthrough — but a slow turning toward?
And how do we recognise healing when it doesn’t perform itself?
Emerging from a desire to honour the unseen work of return — bodily, psychic, ancestral — this project engages time as cyclical, presence as unstable, and performance as a space where both coherence and disintegration can co-exist.
