Abstract:
A Womxn Destroyed is a performance that delves into the anger felt by femme or femme-identified individuals who have traversed the spectrum of femme experiences, embracing, trans-forming, or relinquishing this identity while frequently concealing these emotions. Through this virtual performance, I create a space for the expression and exploration of anger. The first performance is a response to The Monologue, Part 2, of Simone de Beauvoir’s 1969 novel The Woman Destroyed. After the first iteration of this performance, other artists will be invited to perform a monologue in their personalized virtual ‘skin’ as a Metahuman. They will create a digital performance as a response to either “The Monologue”, a piece of literature of their choice, or another inspiring text or body of work. Using a set of digital tools, I create a virtual production method using Unreal Engine, Metahumans, biometric data capture from the app Live Link, a microphone, and using Twitch as the distribution platform, as a form of creative expression.
