Shade Therét’s performance Étoile Allergique addresses the experience of illness and the accompanying processes that unfold within the body as part of an invisible geography.



In duet with dancer Alice Heyward, Théret searches for forms and modes of expression that explore the thresholds between health, illness, and possible recovery, engaging with unseen aspects such as wounds, pain, and fragility.



The performance is guided by an understanding of the body as a ruin – a living yet decaying structure in which memories and traumas are stored and can be reactivated. In this way, ongoing processes, collapse, and persistence become perceivable as shared qualities of both body and architecture.
