“Girl Gods” explores the ancestry of women, family history and rage. The performance space is layered with dirt, tapping into the force of molten rage with a physical language that gives expression to the undomesticated, buried and repressed. The movement in “Girl Gods” is explosive and ritualistic, contrasting the simplicity and beauty of domestic activities. Inside carved-out walls of earth with small, embedded video and family trees, the movement material is large, wild and arrhythmic, as if the veins of the body are traced in soil and the histories are carved out of the surface of the dirt.
