In A Spectacle of Herself elf explores what it means to take up space, expose yourself, and be seen as a queer and neurodiverse person in the 21st-century space race.
The viewer embarks on an acrobatic adventure with Laura, constantly shifting identities in ever-changing landscapes, where the artist literally creates an (in)appropriate display of herself. Because in the theater, Laura can express herself in ways that are still considered unacceptable in many spaces. Thus, with her critical and bold style, Laura navigates between personal experience and contemporary politics.
This leads to a particularly unique, engaging, entertaining, and also moving performance. Laura is a disarming performer you won't soon forget.
