Bride is a multi-media theatre work that uses life-sized puppets to blend history, sociology and the Frankensteins of Mary Shelly and James Whale, to explore the gender identity of God. The work is a probing study of how historical shifts in belief systems — from Goddess culture to patriarchal theology — have changed how we view women — from deity to maidservant of the Lord.
Bride is presented as a part of Ontological’s Summer Series 1.
