Spring Performing Arts Festival
In this solo story-telling performance Ira Melkonyan explores the mysticisms and fantastical qualities attributed to blood. Blood Thirsty is an investigation into the way the story of blood relates relates to political borders and the human sense of connectedness.
What is blood? How does it perform? Who gets to frame it and to assign meaning to it? What are its social and political connotations? What does our understanding of blood say about our times? And how can the the substance’s agency be re-imagined from a transnational feminist perspective?
