In the play, Leah is possessed by an evil spirit and then exorcised."By submerging Leah's dress in the Dead Sea, it is is transformed underwater as salt crystals gradually adhere to the fabric," a press release from Marlborough Contemporary reads. "Over time, the sea’s alchemy transforms the plain garment from a symbol associated with death and madness into the wedding dress it was always intended to be."

“Over the years, I learnt more and more about this low and strange place. Still the magic is there waiting for us: new experiments, ideas and understandings," Landau said of the Dead Sea.
"It is like meeting with a different time system, a different logic, another planet. It looks like snow, like sugar, like death’s embrace; solid tears, like a white surrender to fire and water combined.”
