Touch(ed) – Physical Plastic Ι FlashArt 2024
A solo performance using autobiographical events to confront gender bias and cultural ideals around intimacy — in life and in art-making itself. Touch(ed) satirises “slut-shaming” and the perceived vulgarity of the single woman versus the ideal of the nuclear family, and asks how performance can be a vehicle for transgressive ideals, which prove difficult to uphold in real life. Arriving at the artist’s own trajectory as a married woman and mother, the work proposes that the popular cultural mythology of monogamy and motherhood is an elusive ideal for the de-sexualised mother-artist, who finds herself struggling to thrive amidst her physical metamorphosis and the demands of care-taking. Performed by Kestrel Farin Leah with live musical performance by Yiannis Christofides. In English.
