myrrha

It all started when…

Myrrha

Loosely inspired by Ovid’s Metamorphoses, ‘Myrrha’ is a vivid fever dream exploring classical themes of fluidity and re-creation from a strikingly contemporary perspective.

Invited into the liminal space of Studio Wayne McGregor, the viewer observes a strange cabal of characters as they grapple with the boundaries of identity and sexuality. Over the course of the film’s three parts, we’re taken on a surreal odyssey of transformation, presided over by the immersive beauty of Ruaraid Achilleos’ camerawork. 

Supported by a Sadler’s Wells artist grant and featuring the genderless designs of Max Zara Sterk, ‘Myrrha’ marks a powerful solo directorial debut for choreographer Katya Bourvis.
