enter <strong>in</strong>to a naked confrontation. Girded <strong>in</strong> a sensory costume, a<br />
dancer is launched <strong>in</strong>to a dialogue with the sound produced by a<br />
comb<strong>in</strong>ation of mechanical and electronic sound sources.<br />
In Madame Fataal, the sound is a character that <strong>in</strong>teracts with<br />

to the space and the mov<strong>in</strong>g ‘worm’.<br />
