Through magical realist animations in the style of baroque chiaroscuro, Devoti Tutti returns to the martyred Saint Agatha of Catania a voice she never had. Alongside a chorus of the citizens of Catania and the stories of real abuse survivors, Devoti Tutti shows how a community's reverence for its saint masks misogynist realities. In her cell Agatha is kept company by her breasts, which her tormentors severed from her body-a reminder of the violence she suffered, but also of her refusal to submit to a man's desire. Together with the flying breasts, Agatha escapes from the chamber where she has been held prisoner for two millennium and flies out over the ocean and into her own self-creation. —Bernadette Wegenstein
