SYNOPSIS

Beneath Venus’ rose, where celestial cycles trace invisible geometries, five bodies gather to remember that love, too, can be a refuge.

Mare Venus is a journey through mythical time and bodily memory. From the fall of the primordial goddess and the descent into a rigid system, to a psychomagic ascent toward her rebirth as Iunstir, a Mediterranean figure linked to Venus. The choreographic piece moves through landscapes of fragmentation, struggle, care, invocation, and reconciliation, proposing an emotional path toward the reintegration of bodies, polarities, and love as a shared architecture.

Through dance, light, water, singing, and sacred geometry, a contemporary ritual of reintegration is summoned. An invocation of the deep feminine as a creative, cyclical, and regenerative force. A sensorial experience that imagines new affective pacts and new ways of being together in the world. A scenic hymn to desire without guilt, to touch without fear, and to the transformative power of care.
