“We all enter this world with an animal double,
a twin creature, a sibling in the forest.”
—From Bestiary by Flor Garduño

 

A performer existing in a suspended, liminal time.
A space-time that is an in-between.
A being that divides, multiplies, loses form, transmutes.
A silver circle, a ritual

A video performance inspired by the traditional African tale The Leopard Woman, which tells the story of a woman with the ability to transform into a leopard. I propose a dialogue, a reading of the zoo-anthropomorphic event—the transition from woman to leopard—through the concept of becoming as analyzed by Deleuze and Guattari in A Thousand Plateaus: “Becoming produces nothing other than itself.”
