Sitting somewhere between sculpture, film and theatre, Tremble Tremble evolves each time it is shown, becoming part of its context. The artwork’s new world order – feminist, uncompromising, magical and mythical - churns testimony, court statements and song into a towering bodily incantation. 'Did I disturb ye good people? I hopes I disturb ye, I hopes I disturb ye enough to want to see this, your house, in ruins all around ye! Have you had enough yet? Or do you still have time for chaos? Hah? More?'

Bewitching audiences from Venice, to Singapore, to Dublin, Tremble Tremble now arrives in Edinburgh, performed daily in Talbot Rice Gallery’s magnificent Georgian Gallery.
