Sally Lewry: Cimarron

Overview

Cimarrón is a work of performance art that looks at the more primitive aspects of our lifestyle. Created by Sally Lewry and hosted by Metro Arts, Cimarrón is an evocative call to those living in our modern society to return to the wild, to remember what it was like in a primal state.

The title refers to something that which cannot be tamed, perhaps our inner animal? Lewry and her associates have attempted to display the confronting elements of the female form and perhaps Australian society as a whole; an intriguing prospect and one worth exploring in our fast-paced age of technology.

Lewry is a renowned Melbourne-based performance artist whose work looks into socio-political issues and the human condition. She works with strong physical movement, improvisation, imagery, language, video, design, light and sound in her presentations, making her not only a diverse artist, but an engaging one.

Cimarrón will be running until March 22.
