HOSIASLUOMA / NYBY
‘She speaks! Speak more!’ - Romeo says.
‘I want someone with a six-pack.’ - says Juliet
‘Me too.’ - says the director
Why can we act squirrels but not lovers?
From Willendorf's Venus through Renaissance Shakespeare to the present day, Niina Hosiasluoma and Herman Nyby explore in a personal and humorous way the representation of fat people and their place in Western self-image.
The performance is not a parody - it is a ritual and a scenic defiant assertion. A fat act of love.
