ZYKLEN traces the journey of three cis women through the recurring phases of the hormonal cycle—moving between surrender, pain, desire, and the discovery of new strength.
The work explores alienation and intimacy, ingrained habits and silent fears, as well as the pressures of performance that stand in conflict with the body.
It is a piece about embodied perception, the weight of societal expectations, and the quiet rebellion that emerges in tune with the rhythm of one’s own being.
