In IGNIS (Latin for fire), a visceral storm of sensation unfolds—where desire, energy, and emotion flare into raw, choreographic heat. Built on the primal rhythm of cause and response, the piece channels deep internal forces, exploring the tension between control and surrender. Dancers radiate in full physical intensity, refusing to hide—amplifying every gesture into a spark of transformation. Is this ignition a toxic impulse or the threshold to love and release? IGNIS burns as both question and invocation—a roadmap of liberation through the uncontainable.
