Lilian Steiner (Australia)
The Siren calls the onlooker into her alluring arms . Is this an innocent gesture born from desire for true connection, or a cunning tactic and peacockish display of power? Honesty is slippery, and situations transform before they can be fully grasped. What might appear as truth can so easily reveal itself as fiction. The Dance wants to seduce her audience. She wants them to fall deeply infatuated with details and her logic. The Dance will shape-shift for eternity, in an attempt to attain the power of The Siren. As new embodiments materialize, old skins dissolve into memory.
In Siren Dance, classicism collides with contemporary visions of truth, magnetism and deception to question what seduction looks like and for how long disguise can endure.
