She Spells Sea Shells on the Shea Sore

She Spells Sea Shells on the Shea Sore is an ongoing choreographic research by Júlia Rúbies Subirós that investigates the sonic pathways of the feminised voice in Western culture. Combining dance and voice, the work moves through a constellation of figures—Echo, Cassandra, the siren, Medusa, Ophelia—archetypes that have long shaped how women’s voices are heard, dismissed, or pathologized.

Rather than fixed characters, these figures appear as shifting presences passing through an unstable narrator, emerging through movement, breath, speech, and song. Through dance, voice and sound, the work opens a space where inherited figures are inhabited, fractured and re-sounded, revealing both the violence embedded within them and their latent disruptive force.

This public sharing marks the end of a research phase and the transition towards production, offering a glimpse into a work still in formation.
