Voorstelling: The Tail
Between 25 June and 12 July, Maison the Faux – together with Diamanda Dramm, Anto López Espinosa, Oriana Ikomo and Bien De Moor – present performances of THE TAIL at Framer Framed. Each evening performers guide the audience through different spaces of the installation between 19:00 and 21:00 to create an immersive and multi-disciplinary experience.
Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid, THE TAIL challenges and expands the archetype of the mermaid to confront the complexities of selfhood and the desire for autonomy. It engages with and recontextualises the queer subtext woven through decades of reinterpretations of the mermaid figure over time, highlighting its potential as a symbol of personal transformation and self-empowerment.
The scenography of the exhibition will be activated through a live durational performance for which visitors are welcome to join at any time. These interventions bring the installation to life, exploring themes of transformation, and the sacrifices that are made in pursuit of one’s true identity.
