FROM THE DUST OF THE EARTH

performance, 2025

From the Dust of the Earth is a solo performance, created in response to the work of Hungarian artist Júlia Néma.

Drawing on the materiality and alchemy of Néma’s practice and the philosophy of Butoh dance, the choreography explores themes of nature, impermanence, transformation, and the connection between the human body and the raw elements of the earth. Using clay, sand, and stones sourced from Hungarian mines, the performance traces the continuous transformation of body and matter through movement.
