Title of Piece:
Nat. Mur. : 5 Rites

Description of Piece:
In response to taking a very high potency dose of a homeopathic remedy,
Jill Sigman will perform a series of 5 durational rites of 30 minutes each.
The rites will serve as both reflection and challenge, dealing obliquely
with themes of grief, heart, navigation, and protection. They will involve
materials such as bones, branches, and red wax. Sigman will be joined
by musicians Kristin Norderval and Anne Hege who will improvise vocally
with text-inscribed cardboard tubes. Viewers can enter and exit as they like;
the experience is that of watching a process.

Natrum Muriaticum is one of the most psychologically complex and poignant
remedies in our materia medica. Because deep grief and sorrow are hallmarks
of the character of Natrum Muriaticum, and because these emotions have
(or will have someday) touched and shaped each human life, almost everyone
will deeply identify with this remedy description.
