ILLUSION Dresses

“Illusion
is something which is not true and not false.” 
Performances, created around special, mysterious outfits, are presented
by Áine Phillips over three days of the festival. Each day, she re-interprets
the etymology of “Abracadabra”, which means “I create as I speak”, into three
durational, correlative performances created as an expansion on the theme.
“Abracadabra” was also thought to have healing properties. Each Dress-performance
will be devoted to one of these functions: creating, speaking, healing. Áine
Phillips will be embedded in the audience and public spaces of the Tabor Park during three days of the
festival. 

The installation will be displayed until October 30th. 

Production and organisation: City of Women.
