In a joint performance with Hugo S. Santos and Estera Sara, Delaine Le Bas revives the spirit of St Sara Kali George, a fictive patron saint merging mythical figures revered in three different cultures, St Sara, St Kali and St George. Through an indeterminate sexuality and an unidentifiable geographical origin, and drifting between the cultural codes of Afro-Brazilian tradition, Hindu tales and iconographies of Roma communities across Europe, St Sara Kali George joins in the minoritarian struggle against the oppressions of modern day capitalist world. In costumes created by Le Bas the figure of St Sara Kali George uses its wisdom to break away with binary clichés and to form a future of the many. Due to the pandemic, the work has been shown during the Berlin Biennale 11 without its performative aspect, but now, after two years, St Kali George becomes a »living sculpture« roaming at the Gorki.
