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.

“Stellium presents itself as an astral metaphor: three bodies in motion that, upon meeting, expand the force of a trajectory marked by exploration, experimentation, and the poetics of gesture.
Stellium reveals the journey and maturity of EYAS Dance Project on its seventh anniversary. Boxerman brings the experimental freshness of an external gaze; Oru & Kreya embodies the strangeness and physicality that characterize the company’s work; and Júpiter + Jaguar maps a landscape of intensities that, through sensuality and ritual, condenses both the trajectory and the current creative moment of its founders. Three choreographic planets within a universe in constant exploration.”**

“A vibrant, sensual, eclectic, virtuosic, and color-filled stage experience.”
“An accumulation of energy that concentrates the most representative characteristics of EYAS’s discourse and choreographic language: a celebration of difference, intensity, commitment, and honesty. A dance born from the deep desire to inspire another world. A world where planets—etymologically wandering stars—can reveal all the beauty that emerges from their ability to move among fixed stars.”
The title refers to an astrological term describing the convergence of several celestial bodies at the same point. On stage, what aligns are not planets but choreographic worlds orbiting around a shared impulse.
The three pieces, distinct in form yet aligned in tone, evoke sexual rituals—both human and animal—through a physical language charged with sensuality, strength, and strangeness. The music, often arrhythmic or dissonant, intensifies this uneasy, almost tribal atmosphere, compelling the audience to inhabit an ambiguous terrain between instinct and choreography.
What emerges from this triptych is a curious and disconcerting journey: a performance that does not seek complacency, but sensory provocation. In its bodily writing, the wild and the ritual, the intimate and the collective, are revealed—as if EYAS Dance Project wished to remind us that dance is also an act of survival, a territory where desire and animality meet.

“EYAS Dance Project already possesses a distinct personality; last night it revealed the traits and elements that define its identity. Its interest in expressive physicality is perfectly exemplified in the gesture and skill of Seth Buckley, a remarkable dancer.”
