The work exposes traumas of isolation, body image and self-harm. Dance becomes a coping mechanism and simultaneously a further cause of self-hatred and frustration. The piece argues the importance of alternatives one can turn to when lacking human connection. The sultry dance combined with the unapologetic monologue finds empowerment in exposing one’s shames and becoming resilient.
