Coda, borrowing its name from the musical term denoting a resolving cadence, marks the conclusion of a challenging personal journey. I created and choreographed the piece by invoking feminine archetypes drawn from religion, cinema, and cultural norms, with which I identify as a queer individual. The performers guide the audience through a series of physical and imaginary thresholds, gradually weaving the narrative. The trajectory culminates in an improvised dance with a snake—an iconic symbol of evil—where constriction transforms into an active force, giving rise to profound emotional catharsis.
