Cathy
This piece is a collection of bodily girlhoods on a puffy blanket. Each performer brings forward a corporeal being who consists of memories, feelings and actions rooted in the experience of girlhood.
The four performers, light, sound, costume and scenography form an entity that we call Cathy. Cathy is sensitive, witty, uncomfortable and furious.
The ghost of Emily Brontë’s Cathy has found her way into our process in curious ways and we have embraced her presence with delight.
The work was produced and performed at Uniarts Helsinki.
Choreography: Sara Grotenfelt
Sound design: Iida Viljanen
Light design: Mikko Hirvonen
Costume design: Csilla Slovák
Scenography: Kaisa Rajahalme
Dancers: Sofia Charifi, Lotta Mirtti, Maija Viipuri, Sanna Hirvonen
Eternally grateful to Kate Bush for the music and the moves.
