For the immersive video \u003ci\u003eValley\u003c\/i\u003e, she recreated Judy Garland's wardrobe test for \u003ci\u003eValley of the Dolls\u003c\/i\u003e (1967). Garland was fired from the film but famously kept the clothing from the test. Here, eight notable women wear replicas of the wardrobe: poet Anne Carson, choreographer Deborah Hay, artist Joan Jonas, singer Alicia Hall Moran, author and actor Tanya Selvaratnam, actor Kate Valk, artist Carrie Mae Weems and ballerina Wendy Whelan. \u003ci\u003eDialogue of the Carmelites\u003c\/i\u003e, inspired by Poulenc's 1956 opera based on the true story of a convent of nuns executed during the French Revolution, incorporates music by composer David Lang, performed by Caroline Shaw. In \u003ci\u003eLa Fille\u003c\/i\u003e, Bocanegra uses theatrical sets, costumes and collage to capture the essence of the 18th-century ballet \u003ci\u003eLa Fille mal Gardée\u003c\/i\u003e (The Poorly\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MW Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48885195538775,"sku":"9780998701851","price":22.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/suzanne-bocanegra-9780998701851","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
