The performance artist Eja Due exposes her own body and invites invites the audience into the intimate space where sex work takes place, but also out in the public sphere where the normative truths about sex work forms certain images of what a prostitute is. This is interactive, provocative and intimate performance art where the audience is challenged on their attitudes and invited to discuss sex work and prostitution as well as the crucial difference between the two concepts.
In collaboration with the audience, Eja will investigate how we relate to a prostitute by focusing on how much we have to say when it comes to the shaming or acceptance of the whore in our society. The message is that your attitude makes a difference.
The performance can be experienced in two different versions, as a one-to-one performance and as a performance lecture as a part of a small group.
Strictly over 18.
“Border-seeking theatre, where I, as the audience, is moved 100 km out of my comfort zone.” – Scenekanten.
“A small political gem – and completely without borders.” – Casper Koeller.
“The most debated performance in the program at Bergen International Festival.[…] This is exactly one of the points of the performance to start a discussion about our relationship to the prostitutes. […] Proficiency certificate? I became somewhat wiser on the paths of desire.” – Monna Dithmer, Politiken.
“The whole session was so cross-border and intimate and bizarre that I felt completely changed when I left. The confrontation with the prejudices was so total that they were almost blown away by Due’s naked conviction.” – Camilla Helen Heiervang, Minerva.
