Throughout history, female gender identity has often been narrowly defined by the lack of the phallus. Julia B. Laperrière addresses this problematic idea from a queer feminist perspective using the strap-on dildo as transformative tool: how does it feel to have/wear a penis? How does it affect the way one moves? What power inherits the one who bears it? In collaboration with musician Pia Achternkamp, Falla offers an invitation to playfulness, an incursion in the in-between that puts forth a vision of female sexuality that is alternative ‒mutating perhaps‒ liberated and unashamed.

Julia B. Laperrière lives and works as choreographer and performer in Berlin and Montreal. In her work she deals with alternative notions of femininity, identity, sexuality and love. Julia is interested in a form of dance that simultaneously questions, confronts and touches the audience.
