WAH WAH WAH (Focus Canada 2022)
Advertisement
A young queer person grapples with the messiness of being violated.
A gaze held too long, being followed down the street, a hand behind the neck: WAH WAH WAH peels back the layers of violation. What happens if I love it and hate it at the same time? Did anything even happen? Am I remembering things correctly?
A new and explosive performance work from Canada that uses extreme physicality, storytelling, and tantrums to dissect the feeling of experiencing sexual microagressions.
