In HIGH RELIEF, Liliana Barros draws on leitmotifs from sculpture and elements of Ancient Greek folk dance. The piece unfolds in a pulsating, almost hypnotic world — like slow cracks breaking through frozen silence. Ivory bodies merge into a monumental sculptural form, resembling hybrid figures brought to life out of rigidity. What emerges is a community that takes shape with both heroism and control.
