“Succumbing to the valediction of girlhood and welcoming the hardships womanhood has to offer. Again, again and again. I accept the double-edged existence.”
At a certain age, discomfort from within and outside the body becomes a norm to our way of life. A continuous cycle we must face. This is an exploration of womanhood along the themes of absurdity conveyed in strange and obscure installations. A symbolic display of the discomfort and major change expressed through performance, collaboration, visual shots that signify the sudden shock of growth and bodily development, intensively indulging in destruction to explore the representation of constraining body pain and inner wrath.

In 1950s Australia, young Celia is growing up with a sense of isolation and mistrust of the world that surrounds her. Her mother and father won't let her play with the kids next door because their parents are communists. Then her pet bunny is taken away because of rabbit overpopulation. And, more traumatizing yet, when her grandmother dies, she's the one to discover the corpse. To cope, she retreats into elaborate fantasies.

The year is 1955, and a great flood is coming to Northfork, Montana. A new hydroelectric dam is about to be installed in the mountains above the town, ready to submerge the valley in the name of progress. It is the responsibility of a six-man Evacuation Committee to relocate the townsfolk to higher ground. Most have duly departed, but a few stubborn stragglers remain – among them a priest caring for a sickly orphan, a boy whose fevered visions are leading him to believe he is a member of a roaming band of lost angels desperately searching for a way home.
