I imagined this ballet as a long blues ballad inspired by the work of the Swiss psychiatrist and essayist, Carl Gustav Jung, who once said, “each man has a woman within him, and this feminine element is what I call the Anima”.

One of my dancers, Kateryna Shalkina, gave me the inspiration of Audrey Hepburn’s silhouette, and her voice, woven to Thierry Hochstätter’s and jB Meier’s original score which guided me throughout this project.
