CHRYSALIS

SESSION SIX | SUNDAY 18.05 | 3.30PM - 5.30PM

Chrysalis is an immersive ritual inviting you to explore the spectacular mystery of the life cycle of the butterfly. The caterpillar emerges, feeds, grows, and undergoes a series of sheddings. The final shedding becomes its cocoon. Within the cocoon the caterpillar dissolves into a rich soup before undergoing its final metamorphosis and emerging transformed.


Despite dissolving into splendid goo, the catapilla always contains the cellular knowledge of its final form.


The Chrysalis is a ritualistic communal sensory experience, engaging through story and imaginative play. You are invited to experience transformation and self-exploration through the lens of the caterpillar's story.
