HIGH STEAKS is a show about labia, labia-shaming, cosmetic surgery and fundamentally, body lovin’. Eloina hangs two beef steaks from her labia, butchers them up and sizzles them on a grill.

And her mum is in the show.

Seamlessly melding performance art and comedy clowning, HIGH STEAKS discusses rising demands in young people for labiaplasty – plastic surgery to make the labia smaller or more symmetrical. Through live conversations with her mum and recorded interviews with labia-owners, HIGH STEAKS is a call for increased visibility of varied vulvas and a celebration of our vulvas in all their shapes and sizes.

“If only all mums and daughters could see this useful, smart, sly, funny and heartfelt show.” The Stage

Suitable for ages 18+

Please note: This show is for everyone, but for the comfort of the artist, we ask that only vulva owners and queer people make their way to the first two rows
