Metamorffosis Movement is a somatic movement experiment exploring intimate inter-species connectivity and opening up ways of staging the entanglement between the human and more-than-human through embodiment. Drawing on notions of art engaging with the more-than-human (Cianchi 2015) or concepts of inter-species creativity, this research challenges paradigms of modern Western aesthetics, ranging from authorship to beauty. This article will be the first to introduce the concept of co-somatic performance and consider notions of uncanny intimacy, thus enabling an understanding of how inter-species connectivity translates into an aesthetic experience for performers and audiences of Metamorffosis Movement. Using a transcorporeal analysis of Metamorffosis Movement, including its multisensory, multimodal, cultural and ecological dimensions, I will further discuss how its aesthetics subverts concepts of Western normativity and thus carries transformative power beyond the ecological.
