“BRAVE. BOLD. CAPTIVATING.”

With two beef-steaks hanging from her labia, Queer, Feminist Performance-Artist & Clown, ELOINA, stages a riotous rebellion against labia-shaming and cosmetic Labiaplasty.

Labiaplasty is the surgery to make the labia smaller/more symmetrical.
Young people requesting labiaplasty on the NHS is rising.
Medical professionals blame this on the lack of visibility of varied vulvas.

SO IT’S TIME TO CELEBRATE THE SH*T OUT OF OUR VULVAS.

Prepare to raise a glass to your labia & labia of loved ones.
Prepare to raise a middle finger to butchering your body for the aesthetics of another.
Prepare for epic performance-art & comedy clowning as ELOINA hangs steaks from her labia, butchers them & sizzles them on a hot-plate.

Her work is “like nothing you’ve ever seen before.” Audiences “wish (they) watched this when (they) were younger.”

So come before you get any older!
