Hard-edged and vampiric, this ‘Phantom Femme Fatale’ is not a sexist figure of male fantasy, but a subversive character transgressing female subjugation with assassin-like stoicism.

Utilising familiar tropes of sex, horror and comedy, she strategically exploits her physical prowess by reclaiming stigmatised iconography, revering in the complexity of femininity. 

Choreographed and performed by Jenni Large, this haunting performance-art-dance piece straddles the entanglement of sex and power with jaw-clenching effort and sly innuendo.

Phantom Femme Fatale is presented as part of a double-bill show with Berserk, with DJ sets by Soundbox Studios.
