Congratulations to you all! ❤️
What a show!
The first @eca_performancecostume show of 2026 is in the bag, with two more performances this evening - and it’s an absolute cracker 💥

A HORSE, A ROOT, AND THE INCONSOLABLE NOON - Scheherazade by Richard Siken
Scheherazade is a hauntingly beautiful poem written by Richard Siken as part of a collection of poetry titled ‘Crush’. Crush explores themes of queer romance alongside darker themes of death, despair, and abuse. Scheherazade is inspired by the character (of the same name) from One Thousand and One Nights; a collection of Middle Eastern tales. This project reinvents Scheherazade as a Performance Art piece; a live performance which will take place in front of an audience in a gallery space surrounded by paintings inspired by Siken’s poetry.
