The Wedding

site-specific performance

 

 

This performance piece stages a wedding between two women. “The Wedding” involves a wedding planner, a vicar, a photographer, a musician, two brides, and the wedding guests. Viewers and passersby watch from outside the gallery space as the small, intimate ceremony slowly unfolds in the Glass House Art Gallery in Coventry, England. This site-specific performance confronts the general public in response to the upheaval surrounding the instatement of same-sex marriage and the hostility against gay people in the West Midlands.
