The Quiet Wild
2012

“In this modern world of distractions there is a wild nature that stirs inside of us. A desire for transcendence, to become someone else, dance part naked and chant our lost songs so that they can be heard above the sounds of cities and mobile ring tones. This new work responds to established portrayals of human identity and masquerade, informed by my research into different aspects of folk carnivals where the masquerades are a fusion of clandestine voodoo, ancestral memory and personal revelation, ritual and performance.”
