The Latin word “Plexus” originally meant “intertwining”; later on, the term was used in the context of anatomy and meant “the network of nerves or blood vessels”. The way choreographer Aurélien Bory seeks to portray the Japanese dancer Kaori Ito is by revering her body, intertwining it with the space using 5000 strings hung from the ceiling, creating a dancing, floating and living realm.
