Between 25 June and 12 July, MAISON the FAUX – in collaboration with Diamanda Dramm, Anto López Espinosa, Oriana Ikomo and Bien De Moor – present performances of THE TAIL at Framer Framed. Each evening, between 19:00 and 21:00, performers guide the audience through different spaces of the installation to create an immersive 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 live durational performances that bring the installation to life, exploring themes of transformation, and the sacrifices that are made in pursuit of one’s true identity.

Before the final performance on 12 July, MAISON the FAUX will give an introduction to the work and its development, offering insights into their process and artistic vision. The introduction will start at 18:00 and will be followed by an opportunity for the audience to ask questions.
