Future Flares Festival: Get Off by Katy Baird

The average life expectancy of a woman in London is 83 years old. The average life expectancy of a woman in Glasgow is 78 years old. This means, when I go home to visit my mum next month, I’ll be 5 years closer to my death…

Self-proclaimed hedonist and queer performance artist Katy Baird has spent the last decade documenting her pursuit of pleasure. She’s been trying to understand what she does with her time, and what she’s going to do with the time she has left.

Through trademark humour and an existential haze of home videos, last night’s pounding gabber track, and sessions with her life coach, Stephen – Get Off offers a raw, unfiltered glimpse into the human need for distraction; exploring the depths of our desires and what truly gets us off.

‘“Every possible boundary is broken, but this too is liberating.”  ★★★★  Jane Darcy, Reviews Hub

“Get Off will make its audience squirm, cringe, and laugh out loud like they never have before.” Abundant Art UK Review
