Public Energy

Tackling themes of white privilege, late capitalism and perimenopause with humour and disconcerting honesty

Join us for the online screening of OUFF, recorded at the Market Hall Performing Arts Centre on March 24th, 2022.OUFF is the first scripted solo performance by transdisciplinary artist Alexis O’Hara, in close collaboration with artist and designer Atom Cianfarani, whose sets and costumes belie the spurious neutrality of so-called white, in reality an entitled blond, the unhealthy beige of a dirty bandage, a swollen blue-white, a faux-bronzed ecru or a tipsty old pink. The project broaches the dangerous traps of wokeness, the urgency to adapt and evolve and a conscious awkwardness that still aspires to grace.

OUFF is the heaviest of sighs, a stale exhalation, the noisy forced eviction of obsolete molecules. An interdisciplinary work composed of words and sounds, a mutant body and a set that upstages the diva, OUFF is a spectacle of confrontation by a solitary but fragmented femme who, exploiting her own role of victim and victor, pawn and princess in a world which, at the precipice of collapse, decides to go shopping in a world supported by the violent domination of whiteness.

“Set in an unsafe place between satire, observational comedy, and scathing social commentary, OUFF makes us laugh, contemplate and cringe a little as an audience, not quite sure we’re in on the joke or even want to hear the kernels of truth that make it work.” – Robyn Fadden writing for the culture website Bible Urbaine.
