Warning: During your visit you may be exposed to scenes of disease and decay, therefore we discourage participation of persons with known hypersensitivity to queer phenomena, health care environment, bodily fluids and excretions, or individuals with heart failure.

Belina and Petković: The Fake Bosom

Postmedia artist, literary translator, and writer Urban Belina in collaboration with performer Daniel(a) Petković opens up the fields of new burlesque, queer phenomena, healthcare and wellbeing industry, marginal anatomies and identities of the rainbow spectrum, as well as other divergent expressions and syndromes of (post)human experience.

In the scripted performance The Fake Bosom they present the story of Lady Anous, a non-binary individual in the grip of healthcare system during an acute phase of hypochondria. They play with certain fusion of queer with healthism and omnipresent fostering of a healthy lifestyle.

Quotes

By placing marginal characters in the middle of the discourse, as Belina and Petković did in “The Fake Bosom,” the divide between hetero-normal reality and the deviant gives in. In a humorous way, we gain an insight into fluidity of identities and the breaking of stereotypes and prejudices.
Sonja Zlobko

The role of a diva, diagnostic, the contemporary hypochondriac Lady Anous seems to be inscribed in performers skin. His words run almost as smoothly as his movement sequences or even light dance step. She is a living medical lexicon that fills the space with all kinds of medical conditions in hour-long show.

The Fake Bosom

Today I show you bodily delights,
I steer you into twisted heavenly heights.
In the feverish tripping of tropical infections,
In the safe embrace of health care structures…
