ANINO

Brisbane, Australia

Creative director and director - a dance on film priemiering at QUT Dance 22 (received the most outstanding film award for Shapr Short Dance Festival Sydney)

What truly happens when you follow your darkness?

Stemming from Giselle’s ‘Mad scene’, Anino is a dance on film that explores the Filipino Bisayan saying of “Sunda imong anino” - follow your shadow. A saying that exposes the truth of one’s dark reality. Personifying juxtaposition, manipulation and insanity, the work develops a personal and dystopian perspective of Giselle -  an interrogation on deceit and the unpredictable nature of madness. Through this exploration, the artist makes a link to a moment of his life where ultimate hysteria occurred as a result of deception.
