Theatre Passe Muraille

Mark of A Woman by Chisato Minamimura “Tracing the relationship between women’s bodies tattooing practises” Mark of A Woman explores tattooing culture to confront the invisible marks society places on women’s bodies—the expectations, judgments, and constraints that define womanhood across cultures and generations. Through a striking fusion of Visual Vernacular, ASL, digital animation, kinetic projection and Woojer™ technology, acclaimed artist Chisato Minamimura draws on her own experiences to explore how gender is inscribed onto our bodies from birth. This powerful performance asks critical questions of our world. Can we ever escape the marks others place upon us? And what happens when we reclaim the power to mark ourselves?
