Step into this eccentric and otherworldly cabaret, where the alluring spectacle of the 'vase girl' takes centre stage. Witness the captivating performance of May Kway, our charming and enigmatic cabaret star of Chinese origin. But as the curtains rise, her sweet facade starts to crack, revealing a dark, violent secret. Presented through a kaleidoscope of narratives, audiences are left questioning the true nature of our leading lady. Is she a ghost, a monster or merely a human girl?
This solo performance delves into the historical painful constraints imposed upon women's bodies. From the agonizing tradition of footbinding to contemporary pornography and dating culture, it draws startling parallels, scrutinizing various forms of gaze– the male, the ableist, and the Orientalist. This captivating exploration of identity and representation challenges audiences to confront their perceptions and the power dynamics inherent in the act of looking.
With a potent mix of lip-syncing, stand-up comedy-style monologues, haunting song renditions, and grotesque eating, the performance is a profound journey into the complexities of identity. It redefines the 'vase girl' archetype, pushing boundaries and empowering under scrutiny. This show is not merely a spectacle, but an invitation to reflect and redefine our gaze.
