# Event Details

- **Event Name**: RCA Presents - IMAGO and Obsidian
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 21 Jan, 2027 at 07:30 pm (-07:00)
- **Event Description**: Imago is a “visually stunning, emotionally resonant” (Ed Fest Mag) contemporary aerial dance duet by Corpo Imago. Winner of the Intercultural Connections Best Production award at the 2025 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the work explores the fragile space between holding onto another and letting them go.

The title refers both to the final winged stage of an insect after metamorphosis and to an archetypal image carried within the psyche. Drawing on these meanings, Imago reflects on the figures we hold within us—and the transformation of the beheld once freed from another’s hold.

Critics have praised it as “an incredibly impressive feat of acrobatics, staging, and sound design” (Fest), “a beautifully executed and contemplative experience” (Edinburgh Festival for Kids), and “a thoughtful and beautiful take on circus and aerial skills” (Voice Mag).

“Imago carries you with it, skyward… somewhere beyond words.” - Three Weeks

Obsidian is an aerial solo piece performed on a sculptural aerial apparatus designed by Melkior Arthur in 2017.

It explores the incarnation of different states and bodies in a mineral landscape where wordless thoughts take physical form. This visually arresting solo unfolds as a haunting journey of shedding, darkness, and emergence, through the unique language of danced aerial performance and contortion.

Arthur Morel van Hyfte (Melkior Arthur) is a French artist working at the intersection of movement, sound, and space.

He uses aerial movement and music composition to create within the fields of set design and visual arts. Born to a theatre costume designer father and a director-actress mother, he grew up immersed in the arts. He is the recipient of two gold medals from the 10th Young Stage Festival and the 40th Cirque de Demain Festival, along with the Cirque du Soleil Award for Innovative Vision and Artistic Performance. His practice unfolds as a continuous weaving of physical and sonic matter. He is cofounder, with Guillaume Paquin, of Melkior, an umbrella creative entity.
