Viewing Pleasure

2024 / Performance

Viewing Pleasure is a solo performance about chicken, television, sex changes, digestion, consumption, and transformation.

How does looking—and being looked at—change who we are? Why did the chicken cross the road? Can subjectivity be reduced to a recipe? When the dumpster of your brain gets too full, who will help you take out the trash?

At once humorous and sinister, the piece pairs Butoh- and drag-inspired choreography by Maria Silk with sound design by Jules Litman-Cleper.
