High Steaks

ELOINA Productions
Mon 13 May 2024
Loading performances

A show about labia, labia-shaming, cosmetic surgery and fundamentally, body lovin’.

Award-winning queer performer, 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.
