‘7 STITCHES’ at SZCZELINY/ INTERSTICES 2026, Women in Performative Arts

Performance / Installation, Premiere presentation 7th of March 2026

curated by Monika Wachowicz at Jerzy Grotowski Institute, Wrocław, Poland

‍ ‍

A story about a body that remembers pain and every attempt to reclaim freedom.
A process of shedding, healing, and returning to oneself.
The work unfolds in seven chapters:
Wound. Body. Time. Home. Disintegration. Transformation. Rebirth.

The audience is invited into a shared experience of presence and release —
through sound, gesture, drawing, stitching, and silence.
Because sometimes healing begins
with a single gesture.
