...a sophisticated interplay of spoken text and movement. — Sydney Times

Myth – mythology
Soma – the body

Part choreography, part ritual, Mythosoma is a visceral new dance theatre work that explores how shock and trauma live on in muscle, voice, and silence as shifting forces rippling through time.

Through loops, breathwork, disoriented timelines, and suspended gestures, the performers create a live landscape where the body flickers between presence and absence, control and release.

Bold, haunting, and uncompromising, featuring commanding performances by Moana Ete, Nancy Wijohn, Jada Narkle, Georgie Goater and Caleb Heke, Mythosoma asks us to recognise what the body holds, and how it transforms.

Mythosoma was co-commissioned by the Aotearoa New Zealand Festival of the Arts and YIRRAMBOI.


He wāhanga whai nekenekehanga, he wāhanga whai ritenga ō Mythosoma, ā, he kanikani hou tēnei nā te whare whakaari e tūhura ana i te āhua o te noho tonu o te tūmatatenga me te kohuki i ngā uaua, i te reo, me te haumūmūtanga, ānō nei he karenga wai ka tere i te au o te wā.

He kaha, he whakamataku, he taikaha hoki, ka tū mai ko Moana Ete, rātou ko Nancy Wijohn, ko Jada Narkle, ko Georgie Goater, ko Caleb Heke. Ka tono mai a Mythosoma kia titiro tātou ki ngā mea e mau nei i te tinana, ki te huringa hoki o aua mea rā.
