Embarrassed Naked Female (this show contains nudity)
Company: Elsa Couvreur (Woman’s Move)
Written, directed, and performed by: Elsa Couvreur
New work: No
Runtime: 60 Minutes
In 2020, during the Covid lockdown, I made my solo show The Sensemaker temporarily available online. The video quickly became highly sought-after in certain corners of the internet – all because of the five minutes of nudity it contains. Years later, I’m still having to take it down from various adult forums where it keeps resurfacing without my consent.
Embarrassed Naked Female (this show contains nudity) is a lecture-performance built like a forensic thriller: a deep dive into the rabbit hole of internet communities and my bizarre encounters with the men in them.
There is power in watching without being seen. I don’t think they expected me to watch them back.
This award-winning show is a darkly humorous investigation into consent in the digital age.
