Marie Ségolène, Still from Rouge Gorge, 2021. HD video, 33 minutes and 5 seconds.
Rouge Gorge Screening
A new performance film by Marie Ségolène
June 3rd - June 5th, 2021
Rouge Gorge is a continuation of Marie Ségolène’s ongoing artistic practice of performance, installation, poetry, and ritual. The title is a double entendre meaning either red robin, or red throat. Ségolène conjures both of these images by contrasting vignettes of spirituality and profanity, as well as sexuality and abjection. Twinning desire and disgust, these performative rituals are vessels for moments of queer longing, ecstatic rapture, and meditations on healing through trauma and pain.
Rouge Gorge will be screened on CUE’s Vimeo channel for remote viewing from Thursday, June 3rd at 10am ET to Saturday, June 5 at 6pm ET. The film will also be on view at CUE as part of the group exhibition In Longing, curated by Anna Cahn.
