Goddesses dream when they bleed is the first creation resulting from the collaboration between Belgian artist Annabel Reid and Lithuanian artist Goda Žukauskaitė. 

Through the iconography of public wash houses and inspired by the ancestral gestures of women washing clothes (les lavandières), as well as the myths surrounding them, the performance explores the intimate relationship between women who reclaim their bodies, power and space.  In a landscape shaped by clotheslines, white sheets, and sound devices, two bodies dive into the physical heaviness of domestic labour revealing repetition, rhythms and body states transformations. Washing, carrying and twisting clothes until they become a weapon.

Through this interdisciplinary physical performance combining choreography, sound and space, Goddesses dream when they bleed invites us to radically reassess the role of female domestic work as a factor of emancipation and recognise the uncompensated labour of our mothers, grandmothers, the mothers of our grandmothers and those who came before them.
