Brood (Scene 4): Possession Undone presented for the first time as part of Performissima 2 revisits and reinterprets the infamous scene of possession performed by Isabelle Adjani in Andrzej Żuławski’s 1981 film Possession, using it as a choreographic point of departure. Performed by Anna Marchenko in the cinema, corridors and backstage spaces of CWB, the piece explores the physical and psychological unraveling of that cinematic moment through an extended, embodied performance. Rather than presenting straightforward documentation, the work employs pre-recorded material that deliberately blurs the boundaries between performance, cinematic fiction and site-specific staging. The resulting experience unsettles expectations of liveness and location, weaving together presence and absence, action and mediation. This performance emerges as a distinct iteration from the fourth scene of the six-hour BROOD project, originally commissioned by the Centre Pompidou in Paris for Move, curated by Caroline Ferreira in 2023. Gawęda and Kulbokaitė’s broader BROOD series engages with the motif of the double: an ever-present figure in their practice, as explored through imposters, twins, social media personas and ghosts. Drawing on the doppelgänger as a symbolic and aesthetic device, the work reflects on the unstable boundaries of identity and perception. By invoking the character of Anna/Helen as a choreographic influence, Brood (Scene 4): Possession Undone reconfigures this archetypal cinematic moment through repetition and fracture. The performance invites viewers into a disorienting experience where feminine hysteria and digital subjectivities merge, revealing the second self that shadows us in physical and virtual spaces alike.
