Sophia

  Stereoskop International Performance Art Festival, Civic House Glasgow, UK

Sophia is a two hour live durational performance by Gemma Jones which is an experimental extension of the character Sophia from Linda Stuparts recent feminist critique ‘Virus’ (Arcadia Missa Publications 2016).

‘In the future, there is a women called Sophia and she is made of water…..Sophia’s Liquidity allows her to travel through blood vessels, saline solution and canned coconut water. Sophia is the air breathed by the orcas that have escaped from sea world after they mangled trainer after trainer after they stroked their heads with dry bog-pored hands/ crying woman crying Sophia brings back the shadow’ Stupart, Linda ‘Virus’ (Arcadia Missa Publications 2016)P39
