The Famous Lauren Barri Holstein: Notorious

Blurring the lines between live art, dance, theatre and fine art, The Famous Lauren Barri Holstein interrogates representations of female subjectivity.

In this irreverent phenomenon of music, dance and ‘witch-bitch’ ritual, The Famous looks at ways in which social media and consumerism have redefined how we relate to the female body, one’s ‘true self’ and public shaming. Plunging into the ghostly underworld of popular culture, seeking, as she puts it, ‘the real me, the pure me, behind this soiled shroud of promiscuity.’

Pulling from the myth of Medusa, Nicki Minaj and her own legendary self(ie), The Famous examines pop culture’s take on the ‘female monster’. She reveals, ‘I’ll be ResurrecDEAD as your ultimate fantasy – a horny dead virgin.’ Expect visual overload and risk-taking from this raw, timely and uncomfortably hilarious interdisciplinary performance, which follows on from her performance Splat! seen in 2013.
