Kimberley Dark @Unity 2
A comic-erotic-drama, "Dykeotomy" is a funny, touching and sexy
game of gender dodgeball. Solo performance artist Kimberly
Dark narrates a tale of modern gender confusion - from the
perspective of the gender-normative female lover. Stories
explore performative gender foibles of strap-on sex, topping and
bottoming and more. Audiences will question their
relationships to biology, culture and sex - and get turned on in
the process!
