The Feral Womxn
by Jemima Rose DeanThe feral woman archetype – the other, the witch, the deviant – has always posed a threat to the constructed order of capitalistic societies.. and been persecuted for it.
In the solo-performance work The Feral Womxn, Jemima Rose Dean deconstructs the origins of capitalism and its relationship to womxn’s rights in order to understand how the demonisation of the feral womxn was fundamental to the privatisation of land, control of (work-force) reproduction, colonialism and environmental exploitation. Through the disciplines of contemporary dance, voice and physical theatre, she performs various embodiments of the feral womxn in an effort to stage resistance.
The Feral Womxn was created during a choreographic residency at the Goethe-Institut Montréal in 2023 and premiered at Theater im Bauturm in Cologne in 2024.
Jemima Rose Dean is a West Australian artist who has been based in Germany since 2010. After many years working as a ballet dancer, she is now an independent artist creating original works and collaborations.
