The Famous Lauren Barri Holstein

Blurring the lines between live art, theatre and fine art, The Famous Lauren Barri Holstein interrogates representations of female subjectivity, looking at ways in which social media and consumerism have redefined how people relate to the female body.

In this irreverent phenomenon of music, dance and ‘witch-bitch’ ritual, The Famous plunges into the ghostly underworld of popular culture, seeking, as she puts it, “the pure me behind this soiled shroud of promiscuity.”

Pulling from Medusa, Nicki Minaj and her own legendary self(ie), she examines pop culture’s take on the ‘female monster’. Expect visual overload and risk-taking from this performance, which follows on from the sell-out Splat! seen here in 2013.
