Brinda Jacob-Janvrin is questioning constraining ideologies in Spiralling into Desire – the live performance and video art installation. ‘Desire is the first thing that’s suppressed when it comes to controlling women – personally, professionally, and religiously’ ‘The themes of autonomy and desire are universal. The performance speaks to everyone, not just women. It is the compass that helps us nourish our souls and feel alive. It resides in simple yet profound things. This project reveals what desire looks like when owned by women’. “The play documents a woman’s descent into her deep body to access and retrieve her true autonomy”, said Brinda. � ‘desire is not about power over others but power over our well-being’, she said. � ‘Desire transcends gender roles. The patriarchal structure dictates what is deemed ‘acceptable’ for each gender. But desire transcendsGender roles. It reside in simple and profound things’
