During her Quick Response residency, Muriel Hillion develops A Sensory Creole Magic, a new dance experience incorporating Maloya dance and music.

Muriel Hillion, a Reunionese artist and researcher based in Western Australia, explores Creolisation in the Indian Ocean through vibrant music, powerful singing and captivating dance.
