Lepus is a paper stop motion, as a study on hare mythology and the lasting tradition of myth making. Hares have been primeval symbols of desire, illogic, worship, purity and more in corners of the world, revealing a spectrum of moral codes and psyche. Though a seeming anachronism, mythology in its new forms still pervades modern politics and media.
The performer’s presence with the hare considers the human embodiment of the hare symbols, while the paper cut-outs are a means to dissect movement and to realign time.
