About this Event
Figures appear and recede during a time of tumultuous change to perform rituals, smash rituals, morph rituals, dance battle, and question rituals. Responding to the current times of mass crisis, the global phenomena of social unrest, and the traumatic effects of a pandemic, Rituals of Destruction is a new work by award-winning interdisciplinary artist Alexa Wilson.
Rituals of Destruction using performance itself as a ritual through dance, performance art and humour reveals the roles of ritual in our collective and individual self-creation. Its aims are to challenge oppressive norms in and around the body and identity, through powerful symbolic actions, text and gestures.
The work is performed by Shani Dickins, Alana Yee, Alexa Wilson, with live drumming from Hannah De Koster (Vox Venus), and featuring a video with Priya Miller.
