Taking its inspiration from the life and works of Christine de Pizan, a fifteenth century proto-feminist author, The Empty Table imagines a dark twist on her seminal work The Book of the City of Ladies, positioning Christine as the keeper of a ruined city, intended to shelter women throughout history, but which has lain dormant for centuries. Visited by a shadowy presence, Christine is taken on a journey to better understand the complexities of the female experience, confronted by visions which blur the line between herself, and those women she failed to protect.
