Bitch On Heat

By Leah Shelton
Directed by Ursula Martinez
Thu 5 – Sat 14 Dec 19 47 minutes
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.’
★★★★★ Gutter Culture

 

Created by Leah Shelton (Terror Australis, La Clique, Little Death Club) and directed by UK performance art royalty Ursula Martinez.
