The Lost Roasted Lambkin

01

LONDON DESIGN FESTIVAL · NUO MOVING IMAGE

The body is offered. The shadow dances on.

The Lost Roasted Lambkin draws movement from Nuo masks, footwork and shifts of weight. These gestures become relations between hollow bodies, suspended strings, projected shadows, fire and water.

The body bears tension and loss. Its shadow slips out of time. Blood traces a path of exchange; fire marks an irreversible threshold. One dance passes through changing media, leaving signs that move beyond the body.
