Adonia is an
ecosexual
fairy tale, a merge of ancient paganism, Alice in Wonderland and is heavily inspired by Alexander McQueen’s Collection No. 13 show.
The ever virginal Belle Dommage finds herself in a fairy tale forest. There, she is taken over by satyr-like creatures who introduce her into their world.
Co-starring Bustie La Tish and Marguerite Rue, they represent a gendered fantasy, close to wilderness and the elements.
By the end of their journey, Belle Dommage undergoes a ritual which stains her virginal dress, forever.
