This performance is connected to the video "Woman", filmed on the Cliffs of Mother in Ireland: During the shooting of Woman,

I wanted to transmit a feeling of defeat, despair and humiliation. I shrouded the face of the figure to represent numerous faceless victims, a sense of shame, danger, of abuse and death. This wor was inspired b! events and e"periences which have altered m! perception of the world. # world that inflicts b! violence and is dominated b! a lac of respect for women:

This performance is an art$music h!brid about the ancient figure %enthesilea, &ueen of the ama'ons. (et in the present, the performance, inspired b! )einrich von *leist+s lurid drama, is an apocal!ptic happening $$ combining original live music, dramatic installations and historical film footage. The elements are interwoven to create an unsettling tableau where social boundaries and conditionings are deconstructed. The film dives into the world of the collective subconscious,e"ploring the battle of se"es and internal conflicts,and in the end, encourages us to follow our own inner voice.
