PERFORMANCE: The Loudun Possessions

Cristine Brache, Tara Long, and Monica Uszerowicz present woven textures of spoken word layered with sound by Andrew Byrd and Tara Long.

Date & Time:

Location:


A live performance inspired by the possessions of Loudun, a notorious case of witchcraft, headed by Sister Jeanne des Anges, in Loudun, France in 1634 where a convent of Ursuline nuns claimed they were possessed by demons. The text is a combination of writing by the three performers, merged using a Markov chain generator to create a cut-up, that draws from themes of syncretization in relation to womanhood presented in Cristine’s Secret Garden.

Presented in conjunction with Cristine Brache: Cristine's Secret Gardens on view at Locust Projects through March 30, 2019.
