003 (Creator & Performer — Cis-Celeste)

Above Your Nerve

A woman dressed in all white is lipsyncing to her favourite track, 7 rings, the AI 50's soul version. Familiar voices of men interfere with the track, denying recognizing or ever meeting her. She decides to remove this façade of purity and chastity, as she boringly but powerfully undresses, revealing bruises and cuts on her body. Entitlement and agency over her body, will only get affected by the coming of her period. She will continue with her performance (and life) by putting on a pad with the "help" of a man from the audience, in an attempt to educate them on the complex mechanics of sanitary products and multitasking.

Cis-Celeste will continue to be developed as a drag Thing/Character in her endeavour to reveal all intricacies around women's health, c-sections, and anatomical mysteries.
