BARBER GLITTER SHIT SHOP

An American hair salon of the first half of the last century. Women dressed in robes, champagne in hand, in comfortable heels but still on pins. In the background, Nicki Minaj and the story of a woman who's getting kicked out of barbershops.

The play confronts the male gaze of the past century with the current male gaze that we, as women, have embraced. The positions of women towards feminism and their transformation towards change through the influence of a goblin disrupting the dreaminess of our nightmare. At times a chair, at times a customer, and at times a hairdresser.

The performance was nominated as one of the top three audience favorites in the in-house student theatre competition, The Spotlight Awards 2024 and was also featured at the student theatre festival Zlomvaz in Prague in June 2024 and at the exhibition “Instead Of” by Vox Locci in September 2024. The art piece created during the performance was sewn and was part of an installation made by students in the public space.
