A Solo Performance by Clara da Costa

    In the space between what is shown and what is felt, a story unfolds. 

    Peel The Onion is an exploration into this hidden language—the physical truth of sensation and our connections to one another.

    We all learn the silent performance of the social mask, a shield of posture and expression that camouflages our inner world. This performance is a journey beneath that mask, following the subtle currents of muscle, gesture, and breath that reveal the deeper emotions pulsing just beneath the skin.

    Peel The Onion is an invitation to witness the complex, sensitive landscape of the human spirit when it is finally set free. It is a discovery that true beauty is not what is seen, but what is profoundly felt.
