Rachel Parry
Baba Yaga’s Bastard Child
Artist Rachel Parry will take the audience members on an intimate, interactive journey, alongside the river that runs through the veins of the Archetypal wild woman’s bastard child. A semi-autobiographical tale of an alluring creature whispering a forgotten language, tonguing the air, waiting to lick up lovingly your boundaries and suck on your exposed bones. An exploration into the belly of the beast, the dark side of the wild self we pretend not to remember.
This live performance will incorporate split screen projections, Butoh Dance, costume design, special effects, storytelling and foodstuff.
Video and Sound artist Jim Brouwer created the sound and lighting.
