Sex Status 2.o

Sex Status 2.o | More Feminism Less Bullshit

Sex Status 2.0 takes Simone de Beauvoir's 1949 feminist masterpiece "The Second Sex" as a jumping off point for a different take on dance performance; exploring our conditioning as women and what still needs to be uncovered, or shifted. What is authentic femininity? Where does our power lie? What are our deepest desires?

“Performed in private homes…the work features seven female dancers who look at the ways in which women are seen — and how they see themselves — in society.” Gia Kourlas, The New York Times
