LOVE TRADE is an exploration of gender and cultural assumptions in upheaval.
The piece uncovers a love tangle between the Western goddess Demeter—frozen in eternal springtime—and Persephone—her restless daughter—who wanders away from the Motherland. Somewhere in No Man’s Land she encounters the Eastern god, Shiva—intense and mysterious—and is immediately attracted to his exotic ‘otherness.’ |
