Water. The vital substance for human existence taken for granted in Western Society. Blood, tears, saliva, sweat – visceral fluids haunt the modern day female heart and body that is still exploited for the benefit of men.

 

In 1975 Sylvia Federici wrote “Wages Against Housework”, encouraging women to demand a wage for work in the home so it is considered labour, not a choice or desire. Despite post-feminist assumptions, are young girls still trained to give more emotional and sexual attention to men than they get in return?

 

TRANSLUCENCE is a cleansing enactment, amalgamating haunting spoken word poetry with a physical fluid-filled baptism; will you see into our minds, not through our clothes?
