Forms of Fire – theatre piece created and produced by Aureola LLC

drama | dance | experimental score | projected visuals | interactive-immersive sculpture

2026 NYSCA Artists Support Award, Lynnea Villanova

Forms of Fire is a powerful, multimedia theater experience that intertwines the lives of three people—a scientist, a music teacher, and a dancer—each grappling with the long shadows of personal and collective trauma. Through a fusion of scientific exploration and artistic expression, the play delves into the fragile human psyche, asking how and whether we can truly rewire our minds to overcome the past. Set against the backdrop of experimental neuromodulation, the characters’ journeys are mirrored in sculptures that evolve as metaphors for their fractured identities and disparate quests for healing. With a chorus of dancers embodying their internal struggles, Forms of Fire offers a poignant meditation on memory, resilience, and the transformative power of connection.

Our expanded staged reading offered a first glimpse into the evolving piece, with immersive and staging elements prototyped in real time. The audience not only witnessed but participated in the experiment.

Rewriting personal story requires memory and imagination, it is art — it is one’s internal art. Through our story, images, dance and sound, we aim to portray how this internal art commands the body’s ‘plastic capacity’ to change and to heal
