Event Information
Description
Part of LightNight Liverpool 2018, Talking Stalls is an interactive series of intimate performances exploring notions of identity, gender, and space. The work will raise questions surrounding the politics of public female bathrooms. The piece encourages participation and conversation, inviting participants to communicate, and confess with the performer as well as inscribing their own graffiti (Latrinalia) on the walls of their cubicle.
Talking Stalls investigates whether this space, rendered as binary and gendered, is an autonomous sanctuary for women; a place to engage in an uncensored forum, safe from the gaze, or if the space exists to reinforce gender roles, and hide the 'undesirable' parts of femininity.
Each performance lasts ten minutes; slots are booked individually but you may bring a friend along if you wish!
