Choreographed by Anthony Egea (Compagnie Revolution) and with music composed by Frank II Louise, Ecdysis refers to the shedding of the skin as in reptiles. Ecdysis is a surrealist interpretation of the Chakana, which for Inca and Mayan mythology symbolizes what is known in other mythologies as the World Tree or Tree of Life, representing Underworld, Current World and Upper World. Ecdysis also represents three animals- the Puma, the Snake (Oxumaré), and the Condor.
