ARIADNE:

CHERI GAULKE + BARBARA T. SMITH

Liebestod:
Performance & Banquet

 
 

This banquet evolved as a strategy for bringing together women working in the same area with very different perspectives and politics. Created by Smith and Gaulke, the elegantly served dinner was interspersed with a performance. Liebestod featured images of Chinese footbinding and other restrictions on women’s freedom. For dessert the artists served Cherries Jubilee amidst stimulated flames and the triumphant Wagnerian Liebestod.
