A GOOD WOMAN at RVA Fringe
April 13 @ 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm
$20
A good wife. A good woman. A good mother. Penelope weaves and waits and weaves and waits for odysseus to return.
Who controls my body? Is this taking my power back? How am I feeling pleasure while bound, like this, in string?
The work is a meditation on the Odyssey’s Penelope and her daily ritual of weaving and unweaving a funeral shroud to avoid a fate of being forced into a marriage with one of 106 suitors who desire her body and title. Through a conversation between two queer and gender-diverse artists, a violinist and a dancer bound together by string, the work considers what it means to be a “good woman.”
Presented alongside “Bad Light”
