Papyllon

“We put on our stories and we wear them so tightly.”

Inspired by the lifecycle of the butterfly, dance artist Ella Mesma rolls, twists and weaves a tapestry of movement, words and aerial skills to ask “who could we be if we shed the skin of our old stories?”

Listen carefully, and imagine a world, a silent green world at the beginning of time… Take a journey with Ella, in this mesmerising and meditative short film that explores what it means to evolve.
