An invitation to wilfully stray into the fascination, hunger and fear of a fairytale so familiar it runs through us like a current.
“Rachel Dean is a very self-possessed performer. Or perhaps just plain possessed…”
Lyndsey Winship, Resolution! Review
An invitation to wilfully stray into the fascination, hunger and fear of a fairytale so familiar it runs through us like a current. Wolf, Grandmother and Girl flicker, emerge and retreat in an unsettling dance played out in the body of exceptional performer Rachel Dean. An immersive and sensual solo which embraces the complexities and fluidities at the heart of each of us. Live sound score by accomplished improviser Seth Bennett on double bass, and haunting live vocals.
“Rachel Dean is a very self-possessed performer. Or perhaps just plain possessed. She begins to sing and there is something captivating in her simple confidence. Like hearing old folklore for the first time we are drawn close. Suddenly she becomes the wolf as feral howling overtakes her words. Battling between beast and human before loping away as something in-between”
