WOMAN/DEATH: an augury
WOMAN/DEATH: an augury is the title of a new play by Mia Wennerstrand and Melanie Jame Wolf commissioned for the De Se -attitude exhibition in Pori Art Museum. The artists will present a table read of the draft script twice throughout the program. The uneasy pairing of the play’s two protagonists, Woman and Death, explores how womanhood and dying might be written and rewritten. Taking its cue from the work of French feminist and author Hélène Cixous, and in particular the question of what an écriture féminine (a term Cixous coined first in 1975 depicting writing of women) might be in 2026, WOMAN/DEATH: an augury is an experiment in feminist collaborative writing practices.
