The Shedding by Elise Reine
Contortionist, snake-woman, slug. I bend into your imagination…
Combining trapeze, contortion, performance art and power ballad, this intimate solo explores romanticised depictions of the female victim – à la Twin Peaks’ Laura Palmer – alongside the intoxicating sexualisation of the supple and bending body of the contortionist.
Enter the realm of Elise Reine in this claustrophobic reckoning with the comfort of dehumanisation. Reine uses her circus language to push boundaries and norms, exploring experimental and political topics. This show is part of a series of performances which asks “How far are you willing to Bend”.
