The origin of sin’s absolution
Flesh invites the audience to tour the prototype of a new world.
​Spectators are welcome to capitalize on the potential of an establishment breeding sin free vessels in a future utopian state.
​​
Drawing on religious ceremony, with a familiar fixation on purity, the piece explores domestic ritual as a form of systematic violence.
​
In this dystopian world, female vessels are commodified as reproductive labourers, creating children artificially and thus sin-free.

A sci fi fable, the narrative emerges through live performance, communicated through a visual language and the explicit female body, juxtaposed against a digital backdrop.
Leader to the journey is a disembodied set of Lips. The piece weaves fragments of live art, video artistry and spoken word into an experimental theatre performance.
​
​
Interrogating the commodification of reproduction and ritualised violence, the performance considers the intersection of live art and theatricality as a site for feminist speculative fiction.
​
An extract of Flesh was performed with the support of Tron Theatre CREATIVE at Outside Eyes. A digital adaptation of the performance was then commissioned by Paisley Art Centre for the ‘Artist in Lockdown’ series.
