A delicious meal, a sexual thrill, a drug or those little hearts on Instagram... The human brain registers every pleasure in a similar way. But how long does the happiness of consumption really last?
Scottish performer, hedonist and self-proclaimed hot mess Katy Baird takes us on a journey in pursuit of pleasure. “Messy, anarchic and very funny” is how The Stage describes this relentlessly honest performance. With disarming humor that regularly crosses the boundaries of good taste, Get off offers a raw and unfiltered insight into the human need for distraction, exploring the depths of our desires and questioning the autonomy we supposedly have in satisfying them. In collaboration with co-director Kim Noble, who also plays his way deep into the hearts of his audiences in his darkly comic works, a theater evening has been created that is as warm as it is strange and clever.
