Her Glass Flower House

Synopsis

A fever dream of illness and recovery combining stop motion animation and live action in a doll’s house. A woman arrives ahead of her family at a rented house, describing the ideal life they will build together. What happens does not reflect her homemaker vision. Instead, the house and its contents confront her body as external expressions of her struggle to survive.

Director: Katharine Fry

Year: 2017

Her body flickers in an attic. A triangle, align; she is flung in a poltergeist semaphore. At once woman, creature and form, she dances anticipation. A whisper, ‘he’s coming home.’

Before her investiture, the novice must hear what she has to, learn what she has to, shape what she has to, say. Before her investiture, the novice must hear what she has to, learn what she has to, shape what she has to, say.

Director: Katharine Fry

Year: 2018

A truncated woman thrusts awkwardly from a school-desk, motionless except for her spinning, shaking mouth. The novice must rehearse the lesson dictated by an unseen voice. She must sacrifice unbounded desire, press it into language, into discipline, into rule. Her body refuses the lesson but remains trapped by its rote.

The Baby Factory is Closed The Baby Factory is Closed

Director: Deepa Mann-Kler

Year: 2026

A 20-minute single-player immersive VR experience that places users inside the body of Zoraan, a British-born Sikh woman navigating menopause amidst climate collapse and the ruins of colonial medicine. You breathe with her. You scream with her. You dance your way out of sedation. Blending real-time visuals, bio-haptic feedback and diasporic sound, this work reframes menopause not as decline but as volatile power; closing ‘The Baby Factory’ to ignite a cultural revolution. Using gesture, voice and biometric feedback, audiences become co-conspirators in a volatile act of embodied rebellion. This is not a metaphor. This is an insurgency.
