A Dionysian bacchanal that merges the immersive pleasures of the body with the physical textures of the vegetable, fruit and floral worlds. Brazilian artist Fabio da Motta’s shibari ropework awakens the dancers to their bodies’ sensuous powers. Could it be that once we understand the way we are bound, the more we are able to enjoy the cornucopia of the world?
