Wilis is inspired in part by the ballet Giselle (1842), in Akram Khan's version, of great beauty and overwhelming scenery where the great wall that imprisons and separates stands out, which dramatically separates the real world of the wasteland where the Wilis reside, the spirits of maidens who died after being betrayed by their lovers, and take revenge in the night by dancing men to death by exhaustion. But in Giselle's story, her great love frees his lover from the grasp of his own destiny in the Wilis land.
The work of On Hansen bears the traces of lived experiences, exploring the possibilities of formal abstraction, seeking an organic experience between space and time, on this occasion creating textures as if the work had its own geology applied as a ritual, the dripping process reminiscent of Giselle's wall, where in each layer, in each drip, there is room for a love story.
