"Parsifal shared the deepest burden of his heart with Sigune: the vain search for the Grail had been on his soul, like the grief of a halflived life in Sigune…”
-Wolfram Von Eschenbach
Sigune is a female side character in the Parsival saga, whom the knight meets three times in his life.
The inability to let go is captured in a very strong visual image: Sigune drags the body of her dead husband throughout her life, accompanied by bitter weeping.
At one point Sigune tells Parsival that she knows what his pain is like, because she has let life pass her by, because she has been a prisoner of something she cannot reach until she wants to reach it.
By letting go we reach our Holy Grail.
I am almost unable to let go of my long- standing, difficult to diagnose and treat illness and its causes and traumas.
The grail is a metaphor, everyone has something in their life that symbolizes it. How beautiful that the shape of the uterus its the same as a grail.
My cleaned uterus is my Holy Grail.
My performance is a visual representation of a self-destructive and self-healing process through a combination of personal and ancient stories.
