Conceived and Performed by Ramona Rotten
Inspired by the historical legacy of Anthony Comstock and the enduring contemporary consequences of his moral crusade, A Very Dangerous Woman vs. the Holy Fathers of the American Inquisition offers a provocative and immersive experience that challenges the viewer to confront their own stance in the face of censorship.
This interactive performance invites participants to navigate a series of choices that illuminate their complicity, resistance, or apathy in response to oppressive forces. At its core, the work serves as a collective act of creation—a living archive that documents and interrogates the profound costs of compliance, obedience, and the mechanisms of societal control.
Through this confrontation, the performance seeks to transcend mere critique, instead gesturing toward the radical potential for imagining and enacting new possibilities for liberation. Rooted in both historical reflection and urgent contemporary relevance, A Very Dangerous Woman vs. the Holy Fathers of the American Inquisition calls on each participant to grapple with the boundaries of agency, accountability, and transformation within systems of power.
