Guest House and Night Gallery are excited to present the American debut of Luca Asta’s Tears of the Untamed, a live performance at Night Gallery North on May 23rd at 7:30 PM.
Tears of the Untamed reimagines Mary Magdalene as a figure of radical resilience, weaving visceral pole choreography with a richly layered audio tapestry of archival recordings, spoken word and ambient textures, to reveal the tension between strength and vulnerability. Through its immersive fusion of movement and poetic soundscape, the piece invites empathy and sparks a fresh dialogue on gender, power, and trans resilience.
Luca Asta is a French-Italian visual artist and filmmaker living and working in London. Her practice plays around belief systems from Christianity to Capitalism to Cinema and their impact in the construction of pfsychosocial identity, with a specific interest in structural and internalized oppressions. She is actively engaged in dismantling binary and heteronormative oppressions through intimate and confrontational works.
