Futuristic Folktales
Futuristic Folktales – a dance for hope scrutinises reproductive injustices by
re-imagining the tale of the first womb, a folkloric creation narrative
often silenced. The performers attempt to tell this momentous tale through
storytelling, contemporary movement, Scottish Highland dance and acts of
birth and un-birth, alongside an evocative soundscape of experimental
bagpipes composed by Malin Lewis. The performance invites audiences to
engage in collective resistance and seeks to further dance as a form of
political protest – otherwise, why dance? Programmed by Dance Base in
collaboration with Assembly. MadeInScotlandShowcase.com
