Goddesses dream when they bleed

Between wet sheets and sweat, in a landscape shaped by clotheslines and sound devices, two bodies expose the physical heaviness of domestic labour as it unfolds into a choreography.
Inspired by the ancestral gestures of women washing clothes, the performance explores the intimate relationship between women who reclaim their bodies, power and space. Revealing repetition, rhythms and body transformations through washing, carrying and twisting clothes until they become a weapon.
By combining choreography, sound and space, Goddesses dream when they bleed invites us to radically reassess the role of female domestic work as a factor of emancipation and recognise the uncompensated labour of our mothers, grandmothers, the mothers of our grandmothers and those who came before them.
Goddesses dream when they bleed is the first creation resulting from the collaboration
