SICK TALKING, GHOST STALKING invites the audience into a poetic, humorous, and paranormal performance about illness, grief, kink, and tenderness.
In a both flamboyant and intimate manner, performer Kat Staub moves through hypnotic sequences and campy vignettes, encountering naughty children, angry men, and utopian mothers. Balancing between care and violence, she explores the erotic potential of playing with society’s ghosts and presents a hybrid performance collage that blends traditions of queer subculture with intergenerational questions of chronic suffering.
