03. Life is too short to skip Dessert
Performance and Costume, 2018
‘Life is too short to skip Dessert’ is a daring performance piece that uses comedy, a critique of knowledge production, and fashion codes to explore our understanding of 'otherness' and the delicate line between common sense and insanity. Through the use of a "cake fail" cooking fiasco, an actor starts the live-performance with acts of high fashion and glamour, gradually transitioning into an amusingly chaotic strip-tease. Ultimately, the audience is left with the actor in 'cream-spritzing underwear' slipping and falling in utmost embarrassment. This transformation is made visually clear via the textile garment worn by the actor, which is gradually revealed through its hidden pockets.
