A durational event that explores themes of identity, theatricality and our relationship to the land we live on: this performance is built and then destroyed over the space of four hours. Audience members enter and leave as they wish, and may walk amongst the performers, or sit back and enjoy the spectacle around them.
Rajni Shah (director/performer), Lucille Acevedo-Jones (costume/set designer) and Cis Oboyle (lighting designer) create three performative loops that weave in and out of synchronisation for the duration of the piece. By repeatedly inhabiting and abandoning the figures of Elizabeth I and a traditional Indian bride, Rajni reveals more and more of her true self during the performance and gently invites the audience to question their own identity.
Complete with haunting original vocals (live and recorded) and a stunning series of costumes, this delicate and probing performance offers up questions and images that will stay with an audience long after leaving the space.
