ONIONMAN is a visceral, sensitive performance where clothing becomes both a playmate and an emotional partner. As layers are put on, crumpled, or cast off, the body reveals itself, transforms, and questions its own identity.
This debut work by Victoria Côté Péléja draws from street dance freestyle and textile manipulation. Movement emerges from the friction between fabric, breath, sweat, and the impulses of the present. Every garment put on or removed becomes a symbolic layer — social, emotional, or cultural.
What drives us to change? When does identity (re)form? ONIONMAN explores identity as a continuous transformation, at the intersection of inner and outer worlds, of self and other. The piece turns clothing into a raw, sensory language, unveiling a porous, vibrant being in constant evolution.
The double bill is presented with the support of Première Ovation.
