Pulp Dance Co in “Pick a Side, Babe”
San Francisco International Arts Festival
A dance-theater work that unpacks the social and internal walls people build—what it means to be a woman, bisexual and human in a world that is obsessed with categories. Using physicality and irony, the piece wrestles with masking, perfectionism, and the exhausting performance of fitting in. What happens when we finally let our contradictions dance? […]
