Drawing from circus, stand-up comedy and live art, Contra is an autobiographical solo-cabaret of contradictions. Using aerial rope and a roll of cling film, Laura sets her experiences of her own body amidst an anecdotal tapestry of body hair observations on public transport and Sunday lunchs discussion about lesbian sex.
Dark, witty and uncompromising - Contra interrogates personal, social and historical occupations of the female body, and explores - literally - where such bodies are positioned and how we are meant to look at them. Expect scenes of nudity and explicit references to mythical reptiles and female sexuality.
