Drawing on the Christian eucharist and the figure of the sin-eater, Ecce Homo is a one-off and time-responsive rite of queer becoming and rebirth. Pablo Pakula will prepare and consume a black pudding made from his own blood; embracing what is normally hidden, repudiated and stigmatised. The audience are invited, as a congregation of active witnesses, to partake in this tenderly transgressive liturgy.
Pablo Pakula is a European mongrel based in Birmingham. His work aspires to a visceral beauty, seeking to raise questions and embrace multiplicity, fostering the subjectivity of audience members by inviting them to find other ways of seeing, understanding, and feeling.
Content Notes:
Physical depiction of blood and needle, discussion of sexual transmitted infections, references to homophobia, audience interaction & invitation to consume food.
