Strange occurrences at nighttime, listening houses, dancing illness and otherworldly portals… Welcome to ‘The Haunted’.
Come and explore how it feels when reality doesn’t behave quite as expected.
Devised by multidisciplinary artist Joanna Holland, 'The Haunted’ is a collection of performances, talks, readings and soundscapes which explore liminal space, dreaming, sick bodies, horror and the uncanny. Offering insights into what it feels like emotionally to be haunted – haunted by bodies, haunted by sickness, haunted by dreams… This collection shares how people with chronic illness and encountering parasomnia undergo a change in their experience of space and time. Female-led narratives by Disabled and non-Disabled artists share what it's like to exist in an ever-shifting, ‘in between’ space. Their performances invite you into the eerie, uncanny, surreal and unnerving space of the liminal.
Part One presents:
'That Thing' – dance artist Lucy Clark's candid and interdisciplinary performance which exposes the reality of hidden disability. 'Insomnia' – visual artist Leah Clements discusses her latest body of work which explores the emotional and psychological effects of insomnia. Followed by a Q&A with Joanna, Leah & Lucy – chaired by Artist and Curator Hannah Wallis.
Developed at Cambridge Junction. Supported by Arts Council England.
