The VORTEX presents the regional premiere of Body Politics by Shasparay. The show is a personal revelation of the award-winning actress' experiences as a fat woman navigating issues of shame, bullying, health, love, and fetishization in a fatphobic world.
Using an interdisciplinary approach including comedy, poetry, dance, and theater, Body Politics speaks to the nuanced nature of the so-called "fat experience." For Shasparay, this journey has been funny, deep, sexy, disappointing, and beautiful, and it could not be told using just one form of creative expression.
