Underpinned by the lore of Java in tension with Western ideologies, Burnett shapeshifts between Javanese folkloric deities and demons inherent in her ancestry as an allegory for the eternal cycle of becoming. Working with the traditional medium of pointe shoes, merged with Javanese and contemporary dance and Silat; with Kasimyn’s music blending traditional with fantastical electronic sounds, all creating a surreal world grounded in the visceral.
