This multi-disciplinary performance is a deconstruction of the myth of Persephone. Video projections of intimate rituals done in nature are combined to mark making gestures and poetic autobiographical text to present a fragmented re-writing of the story.
50 pomegranates is divided in four main acts: the creation of seasons, separation anxiety, rape and death. Each theme is accompanied by a gesture and briefly addressed within various letters red as a script. The script, in which poetic confessions are combined to descriptions and interpretations of the story, follow the structure of a verse novel.
