LABYRINTH OF THE UNSEEN WORLD
2025
Labyrinth of the Unseen World is a new dance-theatre and film work created by filmmaker and artist Amélie Ravalec
and dancer/performance artist
Paul Michael Henry.
Combining live Butoh dance, film, music, sound design, video art, poetry and vocal narrative, the work invites audiences into a labyrinth of fragmented memories and fractured identities.
At its heart lies a reflection of our historical crossroads: a burning planet haunted by a collective amnesia, where identities blur and truth lies fractured. But if we can piece together the shards of the broken mirror, perhaps we can rediscover why we are here, and what must be done
to find a way forward.
