Persephone at Yohji Making Waves<\/strong> <\/a>was a performance given in July 2011 inside Yohji Yamamoto’s exquisite installation at The Wapping Project<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The installation – ‘Yohji Making Waves’ – was a collaboration between: designer Yohji Yamamoto, Wapping Project director Jules Wright, lighting designer Masao Nihei; and musician Billy Cowie. This truly mysterious, mythical installation conjured images of Hades and the River Styx, puberty and desire, fashion and sacrifice, fertility and death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the performance I was rowed across the water, as the audience stood on a pier gazing into the cavernous space, listening to the myth of Persephone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is the film Fotios Begklis  has made, capturing the vast space,  light, reflections, immense dress, and fragments of story. My boatman that day was Mattias Malk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
