Fiver Fridays
@ChisenhaleDance
9 February 2018 | 7:30pm | £5
Bridget Lappin presents an evening of work celebrating the female body and those who experience it. Alongside of a work-in-progress sharing of her latest solo Who’s Afraid of a Pussy Cat?, Bridget has invited her collaborators to share their own feminist works, featuring work by The Yonis, Léa Tirabasso, and Svenja Buhl
About the Work:
Who’s Afraid of a Pussy Cat? explores themes of beauty, power, and perception. The performer morphs between femininity and animality, the physical language and her performative identity stemming from investigation into her anatomy, her understanding/perception of her femininity and her innate bond with nature. The aim of the work is to exist in a liminal space, challenging the audience and the performer herself to consider how the patriarchal system views women.
SIMONES COURT is a dance video based on Léa Tirabasso’s 2013 work Simones. Simones are reckless, killers and victims, refuting the enslavement of women to their specie and the idea of biology as destiny.
Mixing distance and humour, Simones denounces the absurdity of women’s condition and enslavement to the specie, as well as the absurdity of what the world awaits from them.
The viewers witness the refusal of three women’s occupied bodies. Different faces of womanhood are developed, the dancers successively embody the roles of mothers, witches, “wild animals”, bitches, cookers and mourners.
Simones is ironically portraying women as witches and depraved, such as contemporary mythology excels to do.
