Heirloom

In Heirloom, choreographer and artist Grace Pundyk adorns MADEn heads with her unique flower headpieces to weave a story of history and mourning and the honouring of ancestors.

Part dance, part theatre, Heirloom draws inspiration from the Eastern European tradition of the flower headdress, while paying homage to the little-known story of the thousands of women deported to Soviet Siberia in the 1940s. A work born of tragedy, yes, but this poignant work is, above all, a celebration – of herstories and inheritance, grandmothers and the ephemeral wild, and those invisible threads that move and shape us no matter how seemingly distant and unknown.

Heirloom is MADE's major work for 2022.
