BAC Open

Denisa Musilova

Denisa Musilova’s POOL began as a study for Susan Marshall's PROTOTYPES in July 2018, and will be further developed into an evening-length work that will premiere in June 2023 at the Rehearsal for Truth Festival. POOL is a collaborative fusion of performance, visual art, and documentary that explores the male gaze, self-objectification, and the way power can shift as we move between looking, seeing, and being seen.
