About the Program

In the visceral performance Victorious, Rebecca Belmore constructs a dress from newspaper and honey. The seated figure, Daina Warren, recalls Queen Victoria, and the act of constructing a structure around her from newspaper makes a statement about the role of the printed word as a vehicle for domination and control.
