On ° Venus
2022
On ° Venus is a performance, which explores women’s changing roles during different stages of our lives. The narrative is told in three acts, for which garments and glass objects are activated by the performer, exploring society's expectations towards the female body in contrast to our own identities.
On ° Venus is a performance visually based on the Venus of Willendorf figurine. The narrative is told in three acts, for which garments and glass objects representing cells, seashell forms, red blood cells and conical vessels are activated by the performer. On ° Venus explores society's expectations towards the female body in contrast to our own identities and how they change as we age.
The project was created in collaboration with dancer and choreographer Ashley Menestrina. Costume design by Anna Mlasowsky, executed by Jenifer Falldin.
