PIGSKIN is a battle-cry for justice, catharsis and systematic change in the midst of a femicide. A new one-hander, immersive show for victim/survivors of sexual assault, by victim/survivors and allies, combining butoh, audio-immersive texts and interactivity, exploring themes of neurodiversity, gender fluidity, dissociation and shame.
After Roe was sexually assaulted, they discovered their nose had grown long and crooked, hands melted into a fist and ears hairy.
They were a pig.
After a few disastrous attempts to return to normal life, Roe’s skin begins rotting away, intestines become thick with pus and flies leave them hollowed out. Roe’s body is a husk, and their soul watches it all happen.
Can Roe reclaim their autonomy? Can they ever rid themselves of the pigskin?
It is raw. It is grotesque. It is part of our pigskin.
Created and performed by Lana Rosalea. Directed by Cosima Gilbert. Dramaturgy by Oliver Ayres.
