THE BLOOM
Full Length Work – 60min
Imagine being a fig wasp – born pregnant.
Imagine the sex of mould.
Imagine intimacies outside of the gaze of the nation state.
Imagine mothering as a botanical project that broke its banks.
A new dance work by Jessie McCall, leaning into the generative glitches of queer propagation and motherhood.
Made in collaboration with creative production studio RDYSTDY, and performers Sofia McIntyre, Raven Afoa-Purcell & Sasha Matsumoto.
