SOCHA - WOMEN CIRCLE
Theater Arsenaal
Directed by Alix Konadu
Choreography: Nina Plantefeve-Castryck
Scenography & Realisation: Elke Gijsemans
For SOCHA – Women Circle, I developed a scenographic environment inspired by the ambivalence of the womb: a space of protection and origin, yet also of transformation and rupture.
Suspended textiles form a soft architectural membrane — at once sheltering and exposed. The structure evokes a collective body: vulnerable, cyclical, resilient.
The spatial composition subtly references the pressure of imposed ideals and the physical realities of change. Softness and tension coexist, suggesting both containment and resistance.
The scenography becomes not a backdrop, but a living field — where intimacy, strength and fragility unfold simultaneously.
The architecture responds to the bodies on stage, shifting from shelter to exposure.
