In the performance, the developments from caterpillar to butterfly are visible in abstraction. The caterpillar crawls through tunnels of frames to take bites out of apples. Postures play a central role.
Throughout the performance, an audio recording plays, complementing the movements with sounds and quoting instructions on how to fold a paper deer. Like the caterpillar, the flat paper undergoes a transition. The frames are custom-made to body length and shoe size.
In collaboration with Linde Roza, Nino den Hartog, and Lindsey Soetodrono

What do you get when you mix green and red? I had a discussion with someone about it, and I couldn’t find the answer online.
She was at the central station. What was she wearing that day? Green with yellow. Red lipstick. She felt like having an apple—green. Was it an Elstar? No, a Granny Smith. She was waiting for the bus; she took a bite and got a fright. There was red lipstick all over the green apple. A circle of embarrassment. Quick bites, very quick bites—she felt as if the lipstick had spread all over her face. She didn’t dare throw the apple away; she bit off the lipstick until it was once again a single, entirely green, half-eaten apple. She retold the story so many times that it became a physical dream in everyone’s mind. The situation had shifted, staged, because it had been distorted into a story.
