Description
HIGH STEAKS is a show about labia, labia-shaming, cosmetic surgery and fundamentally, body lovin'. ELOINA hangs two beef steaks from her labia, butchers them up and sizzles them on a grill. And... her mum is in the show. Seamlessly melding performance art and comedy clowning, High Steaks discusses rising demands in young people for labiaplasty – plastic surgery to make the labia smaller/more symmetrical. Through live conversations with her mum and recorded interviews with labia-owners, HIGH STEAKS is a call for increased visibility of varied vulvas and a celebration of our vulvas in all their shapes and sizes.Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.
