Untitled Feminist Show Stampedes into Calgary
A play that subverts a great many women's magazine covers
Last night at the 2015 edition of the delightfully named Canadian arts festival High Performance Rodeo, a mini-run of Untitled Feminist Show began. Written by Brooklyn playwright Young Jean Lee, the show is set to further thought-provoke at the Grand Theatre Junction tonight, Saturday and Sunday.
What’s the play about? Well, for starters, every female cast member appears on stage naked. And that’s the whole point, per High Performance Rodeo co-founder Ann Connor’s recent comments to the Calgary Herald:
“It’s a great statement about how women are perceived in the media,” Connor says, “and a statement about how women have been perceived over the years.”
“… It’s not about the young, beautiful gorgeous female body,” she says.
