For the first time, his drag alter ego Electra steps out of the club and onto the stage. Electra takes the audience on a musical journey through transformative virtual and emotional landscapes. Through drag, music, video, and text, a dreamlike world unfolds where the boundaries between technology and reality blur.
I’m Not Done becomes a performance like a doom scroll, with pop music guiding you through the labyrinth of the internet. It’s a tribute to the unapologetic theatricality of pop concerts and the poetry of song lyrics. Can exuberance and depth go hand in hand?
"In I’m not done, lip-syncing becomes a powerful tool to create meaning and enrich a theatrical text." - Etcetera
