Work in Progress: Strange Tails, Fauxx Lores

Born from rumours in Chinese folklore and the present-day hellscape of London, Fauxx (“fox”) shapeshifts between the divine and ungodly. Hiding their tails of deception, they spread their tales to those who can hear the whispers rising from the flames.

Fauxx dances through transness, migration, and power, a mischievous response to the perception of the Other as a threat, challenging ideas of what is natural and what is sacred. Inspired by stories from Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio by Pu Songling, Strange Tails Fauxx Lores finds new life using a feral hybrid of burlesque, glove puppetry, poetics, and video projection.

This is a work-in-progress performance.
