Description Part performance lecture, part karaoke party, deconstructing gendered linguistic histories and ripping apart contemporary language to find a new articulation of pleasure, anger and femaleness. From this new era of Trump and Prime Ministers who don’t know what feminist means, comes an angry, feminist, live art investigation of language and its sometimes hidden ideologies. With an 80s soundtrack to rival any school disco.
We are smashing it all to pieces and starting again.
We are behaving badly.
We are singing too many power ballads.
