ON HEAT
CREATED & PERFORMED BY LEAH SHELTON
DIRECTED BY URSULA MARTINEZ
Love latex and hate the patriarchy?
Pour a drink, ditch the leash, and come revel in this twisted rehashing of the vintage sexism that drives how we live and love and fight and f*ck.
Absurdist lip-synch meets high-camp performance art in this pop-fuelled critique of sexual politics in the age of implied consent. Nothing is sacred as psycho-siren Leah Shelton trawls through a Pandora’s box of ancient myths, porn, pop-culture, instructional records and revenge movie heroines.
Welcome to the doghouse. Beware. This Bitch bites.
“an all-guns blazing, brute force demolition of sexual politics” ★★★★★
