The Woman Who Lost Her Head

Wilgefortis Project (Durational)
by Dagmara Bilon
The live installation is inspired by the bearded Saint known as Wilgefortis and performed by Alice Tatge. Wilgefortis was suppressed and dropped from the church calender in 1969. Women would turn to her to be released from abusive husbands.The piece explores themes of oppression, faith and womanhood.
The Seed of Bones
by Agnieszka Kapuscinska
The Seed of Bones is a multi disciplinary work that tells a story of dismemberment as a mytho-poetic rendering of the process of fragmentation, dissolution which then leads to renewal and transformation. Inspired by an idea of ancient ritual practice - The dance of the Skeleton or Dance of the Dead - which has been present within cultural and religious practices as diverse and remote from each other as Mexico and Tibet- this new work has been a culmination of a few years study with shamanic practitioners from South America.
