Mourning Stage
Performance
In Mourning Stage a series of drawings are used as a performance score. These images depict different renditions of the devil in hell. Among this group of demons there are feminized characters that suggest sexual perversions as typified by the Catholic imagination. Performer Paetau interprets and responds to the drawings using her body and facial expressions in a ritualistic performance, where the body, fetishized and colonized by morality, is mourned.
