The Forbidden Room - 2003

Video design & direction.

The Forbidden Room is a collaboration with a writer, focused on the relationship between writing and acting, the text and the body.

Taking the myth of Bluebeard as a narrative structure, we examine three different male-female and writer-written relationships.

Performed in art galleries, the show also takes a critical look at the 'forbidden room' of the world of contemporary art.

Performed: 2001, Enjoy Gallery, Wellington Fringe Festival. 2001, The Physics Room, Christchurch
