Chrysalis is an anatomical reconfiguration with latex on a live dancer as a performance. Leeroy New is a renowned contemporary artist from Manilla in the Philippines. During the performance, he attaches latex and paint to dancer Ea Torrado after which she breaks out of the latex. A video impression of the experience:
Carefully selected acoustic sounds and analogue synth sounds emulating the stretching of latex develop into an organic composition in interaction with the dance performance. A quirky experimental dance vibe that Ea moves to freeing herself from the latex.
