The audio for the moving site-specific piece where the performers take the audience from Fitzrovia Mural to the back of the British Museum.
An immersive audio that is simultaneously a dramatic guide through Bloomsbury, as well as the stream of thoughts of the three performer guides, helps to discover and piece together the body of a woman, represented through mannequin pieces. We attempt to trace a possible connection with Virginia Woolf, herself an avid streetwalker of London, while simultaneously exploring our own relationships with the cities we grew up in Kolkata, Lima and Wu Wei. As women artists, we examine the possibility of expressing a blooming, urban consciousness through the act of street-walking in London.
The piece explores how city spaces either objectify or invisibilize the female body. We invite the audience to join us in our quest: Can three performing artists from India, China and Peru, embody the memory of Virginia Woolf? Can they inherit the legacy of the Bloomsbury group? Experience our artistic response of walking through the streets, corners and squares of Bloomsbury.
