monstrous
Inspired by Toich's novel Ad Bestias, ‘monstrous’ is set in a dystopian eco-dictatorship. The piece investigates different forms of pregnancy: women are artificially inseminated with animals, plants, minerals, emotions, natural phenomena and behaviors useful to the eco-regime.
Under pressure from the government, the body becomes a site for superhuman strengths, extinction, self-preservation, discomfort and monstrosity, each seeking to find its own expression.
Masks, dance, spoken word and live music are orchestrated to explore metamorphosis as a force that puts humans in an unavoidable relationship with other living and non living creatures.
