Holy Woman, Mad Woman

A performance conversation around Christina Mirabilis (1150-1224) who lived in a tree like a bird. The unofficial saint for those who lost their mind, the fallen ones, the ones without names. Christina the astonishing initiated outside the religious orders, a child, a shepard. She foresaw the famine, rose from the dead, swirled as a stylite disgusted by the stench of mankind. We will discuss Christina in relation to Laura’s research on medieval women and dance and Lotta’s work on Seili.
