In Mourning Stage, a series of drawings depicts different renditions of the devil in hell. Among these demons there are feminized characters that suggest sexual perversions as typified by the Catholic imagination. Performer Paetau interacts with the drawings using her body and facial expressions to create a ritualistic performance where the body, fetishized and colonized by morality, is mourned.
