Russian dances, synchronized swimming and soldier marches were the starting point for Korowod. These types of collective movement symbolize unity. I have always been fascinated by mechanical puppets: half-human, half-machine.
Perfect dancers propped on wheels, who know neither weariness or fear […] I want to float between what is formal and what is human, to create tension between reality and magic, the mechanical body and the living one. A tension that will never be resolved. Korowod was recreated entirely for the fourth Mutant Stage episode. We were inspired by cinematic long takes, hoping to reduce editing and to prompt the illusion of real time.
