The Eternal Feminine
An interdisciplinary collaboration between Emily Bannister and Daniel Scott (recorders), Anastasia Terranova (voice), Maria Mavridou (dance) and Verena Barié (composition), The Eternal Feminine is a prize winning music theatre performance that is funded by Amsterdam Fonds voor de Kunst. From Monteverdi to Beyoncé, the woman in art is often a creature of mythical proportions. In this interactive performance with dance, theatre and music, we follow the life of such an archetypal woman, from child to adult. Inventively, the roles of these women in art in both past and present are juxtaposed and mirrored.
