Marian Abboud’s Sister ++++++ Familial Formations is a group video performance held over two nights of the festival in different venues. A sister in a female-dominant family, Abboud draws on personal narratives, collective memory, textured identity, stylised ritual, gendered performativity and emotional symbolism. Her work brings together personal and cultural mythologies to create a collective action through ritual, memory and magic. Sister ++++++ Familial Formations will create new narratives of familial and cultural folklore to hold the space between us. The performance transcends place, generation, language and identity.
