Katy Baird / CAMPO
Discover the bizarre, radical and welcoming oeuvre of Katy Baird!
The human brain registers all pleasure in a similar way – be it a delicious meal, a sexual thrill, a recreational substance or those little hearts on Instagram... But just how good does all this consumption truly make us feel?
Follow Katy Baird, dedicated hedonist and self-proclaimed hot-mess, as she unveils her journey into the pursuit of pleasure. This performance is her first collaboration and the start of a longer trajectory with CAMPO.
For this creation, she calls on the artistic eye of Kim Noble. With a similar fearlessness as we saw in Noble's Lullaby for Scavengers, and her signature humour and honesty, Baird offers a raw and unfiltered insight into the human need for distraction, exploring the depths of our desires and questioning the autonomy we have in choosing where we seek it.
