In this episode I’m joined by the extraordinary Wet Mess – performer, shapeshifter, and maker of work that sits right on the ecstatic fault line between desire, politics, embodiment, confusion, and joy.
We centre the conversation around their solo show Testo that’s been touring over the past year. It’s a work born from a live, personal question: whether or not to take testosterone, and what that decision means socially, physically, psychologically.
We talk about how you can stretch a reveal across an hour. How pacing and punctuation shape tension. How repetition changes meaning depending on the intention you bring to it. How the same action can land differently in different cities and how trans experience is heard through different filters.
