The aim of this performance was to visualise the ritualistic aspects behind the mooncycle, which is deeply connected to the female body. The performance started with her screaming: wearing a red jumpsuit she moves with distorting movements, a painful expression of her body experiencing menstruation. Slowly she uncovers herself, under the jumpsuit the body is taped, as a metaphor symbolising all the constrictions that the female body undergoes. Slowly rising, she renews herself, she starts to transform the pain into a ritualistic experience by lighting sage and covering her body in blood. Pain, Fear and Trauma, written on a paper: that’s what she’s releasing mentally, but also physically. She burns the paper, she's letting go of what no longer serves her. This is the process of menstruation: Female bodies release every month, menstruation is a gift of renewal and transformation.
