The Powers is the collaborative project of Katherine Kline, Emily Pelstring, and Jessica Mensch.

Their live performance integrates video projection, dance, costumes, puppetry and experimental electronic music into a 25-minute set that brings the audience on a journey. Drawing inspiration from mythological archetypes, particularly trinities of sisters such as the Graeae, the Gorgons and the Fates, the Powers create a feminist pantheon of their own.

Entering the performance as masked medieval crones, each sister undergoes a series of physical and psychological transformations throughout the audiovisual set. The angry ghosts of their maternal lineages are conjured in a live participatory ritual, where power is redistributed and the classical "hero's journey" is redefined.

In addition to an aural collage of synthesizers, samples and drum machines, distorted screams and New Age self-help cassette tapes provide guided meditations on how to achieve power.
