Unbecoming

Company of Wolves presents a solo work by Anna Porubcansky.

Unbecoming is a performance about loss and rage, told by a woman and a mother. Rage, at all we become when we don’t have a choice. Loss, of all we haven’t become. And how we unbecome.

Using traditional song, soundscape, myth and movement, Unbecoming is a dreamworld, a rich and sublime space where image, memory, desire and fear all reside. Watch a woman unravel, layer upon layer stripped away; a human, unmasked. How much of what we are is what we’ve chosen to be?

“genuinely powerful … a captivating portrait of a woman caught in the dissonance of contradictory desires” -The List

“Anna Porubcansky’s… looping and overlaying of recorded layers and real-time vocalisings echoed the complex layers of a woman caught in a swithering vortex of choices and desires” – The Herald
