Theriantropes/theriantropy
February 2, 2016
Theriantropy is the mythological ability of human beings to metamorphose into animals by means of shapeshifting. This concept is as old as mankind, and it is deeply connected to Shamanic practices. Maybe it is a proof of our deep connection to the animal world, rather than our separation from it.

The cycle of Ragnarok short film
April 16, 2015The website for the short film “The cycle of Ragnarök” has gone live, with the added trailer. If you are a gallery or art organisation and wish to view the full film please email me on alexandra@parlourcollective.co.uk
The cycle fo Ragnarök is a 6-7 minute performance that comprises the whole last part of the saga of Raganrok, or “the twilight of the gods”. This performance was writen by Cristina Valquiria aguiar in 2011 but developed and produced later by myself for a short film.
Ragnarök is an Icelandic mythological story that expresses through metaphors the natural environment in which is set against, that of the nordic icelandic landscape. In this complex saga one navigates through contrasting symbols of ice and fire, which stand for the dual landscape of snow and volcanos.
Synopsis: An expressionist visual/dance/movement performance with original choreography and original music portraying the nordic mythological saga of the “Twilight of the gods”.
