Details
Desert Grassland Whiptail Lizards are an all-female species that live in the deserts of New Mexico. Notably, they reproduce without fertilisation, but still stimulate each other to bring on ovulation. Near the laying period, one lizard will mount another. This has earned the species the reputation of “lesbian lizards.”
Dance Artist Kirstin Halliday’s Desert Grassland Whiptail Lizards: Act 1 is a dance-drama that reimagines this species as an all-lesbian fantasy world.
Co-choreographed by Aniela Piasecka and combining absurdist choreography with documentary style storytelling, Desert Grassland Whiptail Lizards: Act 1, is the first segment of a body of work that will culminate in a triptych, exploring the fetishization of lesbians and the active reconfiguration of the cisheteronormative male gaze.
Age Guidance: 18+ (contains scenes of a sexual nature)
