"There is a power that has been since all eternity." Hildegard of Bingen

Femina questions how femininity is perceived, embodied and valued through time.

Enter a mesmerising world characterised by Ekleido’s signature fusion of contemporary and club styles, where six dancers commune and transcend through an electronic musical landscape. Set to an original score by world-renowned musician Stella Mozgawa, Femina looks at the spectrum of femininity in a layered, electrifying performance.

This piece will grow into a full-length work, set to premiere at The Place in Autumn 2026. Find out how your support can help us bring this ambitious project to life
