ABSTRACT This collaborative performance explores themes of decay, loss, desire, and transformative discovery through the aging female body. Weaving soundscapes from everyday life, acts of physical endurance, photographs of female-marked bodies embedded in natural settings and disguised in archetypal personas, and interactive performance, we invite audiences to consider how loss (of life, youth, culture, voice, visibility) calls us deeply into the fragile present while simultaneously pulling us, willingly or unwillingly, into haunted pasts and possible futures. Evocative and participatory, “Hauntings” marks flesh, time, and memory to meditate on the joys and terrors of our ever-changing selves.
