Production Management: Christina PitouliDENTATA PEARLS is a video work that emerged during the time of isolation, out of a desire for intimacy and a need for escape. It is a sci-fi, universally accessible fairytale that envisions a non-heteropatriarchal world of self-determination, emancipation, and mutual care. Dentatas’ are friends, lovers, and intergalactic fighters on the attack against human history for excluding them, revealing their DIY survival mechanisms in the process. Dentata is their very own supernatural world – a collective source of energy traveling through space-time in order to heal their wounds, setting them free from whatever oppresses them, and connecting them to their deepest desires. DENTATA PEARLS is a macrocosmic protective shell of resistance, a friendship manifesto and love confessional. Narration and performance, sculptural costumes and VFX together concoct a hybrid work filled with tenderness and spikiness, sensuality, hotness and magic.

DENTATA PEARLS is on ONASSIS CHANNEL on YouTube. In an effort to make the video fully inclusive and accessible to the public, it is offered with subtitles in English and Greek for the deaf and hard of hearing, international sign and audio description in both languages for visually impaired people.
