Squidgina MermaidPerformance, 2017
Sound Acts Festival, 2017
The artists Antigoni, Lydia, and Anna, came together on this occasion for the performance "The Squidgina Mermaid", which is inspired and influenced by Joan D. Vinge’s fictional science fiction book "The Snow Queen": a renegotiation of the book by Hans Christian Andersen. "The Squidgina Mermaid" is an equally hybrid remodelling of the story "The Little Mermaid" by the same writer. Through an improvised, incoherent, hysterical speech production process, they will transform the peaceful world of the little mermaid into a proctocentric, feminist, chthulean story.
