IN THE DARK

“IN THE DARK “ IS A PERFORMANCE AND ORIGINAL SONG AS SUNG BY GROOVY WATERFORD, LETTUCE’S FEMME POPSTAR PERSONA.  CLAD IN A LATEX CATSUIT, SHE SINGS ABOUT DESIRE ( UNREQUITED ), CLOSETING, AND THE POLITICS OF SEEING, TAKING ON DIFFERENT POSITIONS OF GIVING AND RECEIVING AS SHE SERENADES THE AUDIENCE WITH THESE TENSIONS. AS PRESCRIPTIVE FORECLOSURES UPON PLEASURE AND POSSIBILITY, THE PERFORMANCE PROPOSES AN UNDOING OF THESE BINARIES WITHIN SEXUAL AND INTIMATE RELATIONSHIPS, ( SEXUAL ) ORIENTATION AND ( GENDER ) PERFORMANCE THROUGH EMBODIED DOUBLING AND DESTABILIZATION.
