AFTERMATHS: a tear in the meat of vision

Julia Bardsley

From the dazzling heights of the apocalyptic catwalk, from amongst the glorious atrocities of the plagues, from the sumptuousness of the furniture of dis-ease, from within the abandoned mourning mass – the spectacular fe/male host/ess emerges, preaching The Doctrine of Last Things.

Witness a display of secreting surfaces, wounded landscapes, curtains of skin and hair, mutating bodies, fragments of meat, merchandise and money. A bacchanalian reading of Revelations, played out in a dark arena for ritual and rapture, AFTERMATHS licks the pulse of the congregations ﬂesh and glories in the catastrophe of End Time.

AFTERMATHS is the final part of The Divine Trilogy, a promenade performance exploring notions of prophecy, excess, capitalism and ecstasy. Audience members are requested to wear black & become part of this congregation of carnivalesque mourning and bring a small black object (no bigger than 4cm) with which you are willing to part.

Let the happy endings commence!

“Bardsley is a really fascinating artist…She could have been running the National Theatre by now, but instead quite deliberately chose a different career path. In recent years she has been making inspired and unsettling work on the cusp between the theatre and the gallery.”
