\n<\/span><\/i>This work is an experimental stage proposal that asks how the cult of Pluto\u2013Kore could be narrated through space, whether in Nysa or another context.

The work materializes Persephone (Kore)\u2019s condition of in-betweenness as an in-between being through spatial dramaturgy, and positioned between stage and sculpture deliberately blurs the boundaries between the overworld, the threshold, and the underworld.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
