THE MANY FACES OF HER ¦ SCENE + HEARD FESTIVAL
FEBRUARY 2020 ¦ Smock Alley Theatre Dublin.
Throughout the 20th century, a majority of patients were institutionalized due to a behavior considered unfit for society.
Societies today continue to stigmatize women who refuse to adopt the normative behaviour expected of them.
This piece explores the hidden worlds of institutionalized women through moving parallel stories told simultaneously by Stella Godmet on stage, while another interpretation of these raw experiences is revealed through Claire Prouvost's painting in the background.
Dates: 6:30 PM Wednesday 18 & Thursday 19 February 2020
Running time : 30 mins
Venue : Boys' school - Smock Alley
REVIEWS
"The Many Faces of Her is inspired by the German philosopher and sociologist Theodor Adorno. He believed “Trauma changes the world therefore, it changes art.” Following this, illustrator Claire Prouvost and performer Stella Godmet have teamed up to provide another way for an audience to engage in a challenging part of our past."
