Mammoth is a performance for the stage —an exploration of the ancient, contemporary, and future of sex and technology.
Written and performed by the artist, the piece features three characters whose stories echo each other. Interacting with video projections, and transforming between character through real-time audio processing, the anchor of the story is a female embodied voice who refuses to die through physical and material time.
From the last woolly mammoth who lives on a weather scabbed island in Siberia, to a socially isolated woman who lives with a murderous dog, to a sex doll robot in the future who debates the ethics of consent, three characters respond to each other and embark on a voyage to the heart of the inexplicable. The performance investigates women’s conflicted relationship with technology —the struggles between what women want, technology’s control over existence, and the depths of loneliness.
The piece premiered at the Festival of New Dance in October 2019.
