Angélica Liddell's Ritualistic Performance 'Vudú (3318) Blixen' Premieres at Odéon Theatre

Spanish artist Angélica Liddell presented the first installment of her funeral trilogy, 'Vudú (3318) Blixen,' at the Odéon theatre. The performance, lasting over five hours, explores themes of love, betrayal, and death through a sacrificial ritual format. Liddell draws inspiration from Danish writer Karen Blixen's life and incorporates elements like white chrysanthemums, blood-red costumes, and references to works by Jacques Brel and Mozart. The production features amateur actors and dancers, continuing Liddell's provocative style that has gained attention since her 2010 Avignon Festival appearances. The performance examines artistic expression as a means to confront personal suffering and mortality.
