The Seal of Confession

A performance between one member of audience and a performer in a confessional box.

The intimate encounter examines the act of consecration which forms an essential aspect of performative strategies; adopting a semi-liturgical dramaturgy the Seal of Confession takes the audience on a journey during which is becomes quite ambiguous who really the confessor is.

The piece has been created in collaboration with director Ariella Eshed, writer Rania Kay and performer Dianna Brinsden.

A private home in North London (2006),
A Festival of Performance, Camden People Theatre, London (2007),
Collaborators - UK Design for Performance 2003 - 2007, Nottingham (2007), INTIMACY : Across Visceral and Digital Performance, Goldsmiths College London, (2007)

The piece will be shown at I CONFESS, symposium and conference / University of Glasgow (13./14. June 2009)
