FULL-LENGTH REGISTRATION (50 MIN)

The word bitch (female dog) has for centuries been used as a vulgarism, describing passionate and sensual women - women considered to be aggressive and dominant. In a vacuum of play, intensity, and absurdity, the performance explores a fundamental human emotion: desire. The performance is based on four characters: a pregnant teenager, a guitarist, a clown, and a female dog, altogether embodying the ambivalence of desire, the impetus of passion, and the role of erotic energy in contemporary society
