PAGEANT MOON
F.O.L.A Festival Of Live Art 2025
A drenched pageant under a new moon.

A memory evaporating from the bodies of women.Pageant Moon is a recollection of intimacy, on loop. A kaleidoscoped pair of lovers. A mother and child blurring together in the shallows.This outdoor movement installation invites you into a nostalgic dreamscape of softening and breaking - slowly, mentally, cellularly.Pageant Moon extends Presley's continued exploration of death and dying from a queer Māori perspective. It holds close the slow, small, and sometimes unnoticed losses we experience as humans, and the indistinct but vital impacts of these mundane grievances upon the way that we move through the world.
