A portion of your strength

By Holly Slingsby 2013

Adam Papaphilippopopoulos

A performance made at the Freud Museum, London, as part of the Totemic Festival. Drawing on Freud's writings on the Totemic meal and its connections to the Eucharist, the work has three performers wearing costumes based on Freud's collection of antiquities. They sit in his dining room and as visitors enter the room they are eyed up for potential consumption. Performed by Pa'ma Torrents, Holly Slingsby and Laura Dee Milnes.
