A Hole is 

a Hole

In the UK premiere of A Hole is a Hole, Lily McMenamy presented the construction of a female performer as a metamorphosing and multiplying vessel. Inhabiting a swarm of personae, McMenamy asks us who is subject to our aesthetic and erotic drives, when the relations between artist and model, monster and maker, are thrown into the blender of one singular body.

This performance contained strong language.

This event was organised by Lily McMenamy, as part of the Associate Artists Programme.
