DEEPER

In DEEPER, Polish theatre maker Gosia Wdowik deals with representations of gender-specific violence. Based on personal experience and interviews with teenagers in Warsaw, she critically examines the ongoing production and reproduction of images depicting female bodies in the context of sexuality and victimization. What impact do these images have on the lives of young people and what tactics do they develop to navigate the world under these impressions?

In her new performance DEEPER she confronts fears and desires that have been shaped through a strong identification with media images and she brings them into conversation with testimonies of a young generation that is coming of age on the internet. With the help of professional actresses and local teenagers, Wdowik embarks on a journey into the dark imagination that haunts girls and women on their path to sexual self-determination.
