Beskrivning

A woman has begun to wear the skin of a pike and is slipping away from the world of humans. Her loved ones gather for a ritual to force her into her old form so they can coerce her to stay. Yes, this is a trans-allegory.

This folk horror fable about the loved ones of a shapeshifter explores the friction between cultural norms and transitions that transgress them. The shapeshifter is played by the designer and is influenced by her own life as a trans woman.

Bed of Reeds will contain traces of ecofeminism: like all stories of beasts and men, this is a story about violent control. There might be a happy ending in the form of letting the shapeshifter go.
