Within this performance , I set out to conjure a conceptual, folklore-inspired monster rooted in my hometown of Steyning. Drawing on centuries-old local myths surrounding the Devil—stories of retreat and exile following Christian reform, culminating in the landscape now known as Devil’s Dyke—I reimagined this legacy through the creation of a vampirical creature driven by lust and violence. This figure reflects my own experience of growing up within the isolation of a small town. The film documents the creature’s awakening, accompanied by a descriptive poem I authored, blurring the boundaries between myth, memory, and embodied performance.
