SUBDOMINION

subdominion is a practice which culminates in a performative ritual that offers visions of alternative ambivalent and covalent power relationships. The practice occurs primarily between a facilitator (Breeanne Saxton) and three performers (Shedra Dervishi, Polina Sonis, and Bláthin Eckhardt) wherein the physicality and social power of submission, release, and weakness is researched. Western social structures are characterized by power struggles that revolve around maintaining patriarchal structures and adhering to heteronormative ideals, the binary prevails. This work asks how to be together when we fail, when we are confused, and when we give up.
