‘You look 15, but I like that. I like women that look young’.
An electric, one-woman comedy exploring sexualisation of young girls and infantilisation of women. A power game between the patriarchy and a six-year-old clown in pink crocs. Pushing the boundaries of the male gaze, Naughty confronts the disturbing image of innocence and youth as sexy.
