Rose-Mahé Cabel’s performance connects aquatic figures—mermaids and other kindred beings—with washhouse spaces and the imagery surrounding washerwomen.
“This performance installation unfolds like a narrative with disjointed chronologies, between science fiction, fantasy, and magical realism. Here, the past is told differently, bringing in fiction where reality falls short. Messenger figures from a time yet to come make their appearance, emerging from the waters. Then comes transformation, and beneath masks of ash soap, they become water creatures—mermaids, bird-women, serpent-women—giving life to new ecosystems.”
