TRAILER
The dance theatre piece »Gargoyles« is based on critical feminist research into the relationship between villainy and gender using the motif of the »evil woman«. The stage project isolates several villainesses from their literary contexts and imagines them as Gothic gargoyles. These physical »incarnations of evil« borrowed from Gothic architecture serve as templates for the project: In the linking of dramatic figures and architectural elements, evil becomes recognisable as an overarching narrative that, like misogyny, seems to be deeply rooted in the foundations of our society.
