PELVIC BATH (2021)

In PELVIC BATH 6 women, modern day priestesses, are guiding the audience on a journey on the mother space ship. With the power of shakti, they travel with their voices, words, mantras, prayers and spells though the vagina, into the womb and rebirth the divine feminine principle into our imagination.
