Get ready for Avant Garde costumes, eclectic movement, lip synching and audience interaction, as we plunge down the spiral slide of tangled memories and 80s nostalgia.


YCTMHT is an autobiographical performance project led by personal stories that explore Lorraine's connection to 80s pop icon Toni Basil and her Word-of-Mouth video album. At the heart of the work is the concept of shame and how those we idolise can empower us to embrace our past transgressions and embarrassing moments, explore our identities and achieve self-acceptance.

The work fuses physical theatre, spoken word, unique wearable art costumes/set, live art, lip synching, and audience interaction. Audiences will be equally entertained and challenged by outrageously honest (at times taboo breaking) personal stories relating to vaginas, sexual assault, queer experiences, self-exploration, transformation, and acceptance.

This piece is fun, emotive, at times shocking and confronting, comedic, and reflects the audience’s own bodies and experiences, visually and physically, in the performance through identification in a shared humanity. Overall, the piece is an impactful and visually dynamic performance that will entertain audiences and give them a unique live theatre experience.
