The female hormonal cycle with its rises and falls is at odds with the linear ideals of our society. This project aims to challenge the general negative attitude and ignorance towards the female cycle and wider implications – psychologically and physiologically. 

Through a theatrical dance performance the balance of the two main hormones oestrogen and progesterone should be made visible with the help of an inflatable wearable object. Throughout the whole cycle people are talking about their personal experiences and emotional fluctuations. 

By creating a new visual perspective on the topic, this project wants to reach for more acceptance and appreciation, especially by young adults.
