Elephant

Are you ready for escaping
Set in a 19th-century Parisian brothel, Elephant follows 13-year-old Clérèse as she comes of age under the care of her mother, Magdith, a sex worker desperate to shield her from a brutal world. When a visitor arrives, Clérèse’s body begins to change, and a fantastical journey unfolds. Developed with Rising Sun Performance Company over several years, this dreamlike, allegorical tale explores puberty, trauma, and transformation. Inspired by Toulouse-Lautrec, global documentaries, and lived experience, Elephant offers an intimate, raw, and visually striking exploration of girlhood, womanhood, and the cost of survival.
