Ticket - Spiralling Into Desire - Screening and Movement Workshop - 19 March
Spiralling into Desire is a Movement x Film collaboration that documents a woman's descent into her deep body, as she follows her desire. Bringing together dancer, authentic movement and mental health practitioner Brinda Jacob-Janvrin, filmmakers Roohi Dixit and Ziba Bhagwagar, this experimental film is a visceral journey into the liminal space inhabited by the mover as she navigates the inner and outer worlds.
Drawing parallels from the first epic poem ‘The Descent of Innana’, which narrates Innana’s journey into the underworld to visit her sister Ershikegel, the woman’s descent in the film begins the journey of healing the Madonna/Whore split, a dangerous consequence of patriarchy.
