Mixing dance, video and live music, Nicole Seiler takes a look at the myth of the siren. Said to be half human, half animal, this fantastic creature differs from culture to culture. Some legends describe her as a mermaid, while others give her a serpent's tail. Often depicted as dangerous, this mythical figure seduces through her song and her beauty. It's a fascinating legend which associates seduction with death and plunges us into the troubled waters of an ambivalent being. (Quelle: http://compass.prohelvetia.ch) / jst
