The Life of Saint Fiona Bianco Xena” tells the controversial life story of the fictional Saint Fiona. Three experts on their sacred history fight over the right to determine their heritage. Who was Fiona? DIY hormone hacker and trans revolutionary? World-famous orchid collector or mythical figure? The three members of Fantasia Malware are at the mercy of the video game systems they have built to control their performance. They debate, dance and rumble, answer quiz questions and summon dead spirits in a wild battle royale*. Saint Fiona Bianco Xena's story is presented in an unholy panorama that is at once holy and absurd. Originally commissioned in 2021 by London's National Gallery X and the Royal Opera's Audience Lab as a web-based game, "The Life of Saint Fiona Bianco".
