‘7 STITCHES’ at SZCZELINY- INTERSTICES 2026, Performance / Installation

Women in Performative Arts,

curated by Monika Wachowicz

at Jerzy Grotowski Institute, Wrocław, Poland

Premiere presentation 7th of March 2026

A story about a body that remembers pain and every attempt to reclaim freedom.
About the body, about freedom, about becoming, illness, life, and violence against women, rooted in the context of a family situation.

The title symbolizes the process of shedding layers, transformation, and a return to oneself. It refers to corporeality but also to spiritual purification — each layer representing a different stage of life or trauma, and everything that has shaped it.
