Falta Lady - Sarah Calcine

Marilyn Monroe, Brigitte Bardot, Audrey Hepburn... three graces who single-handedly magnetise all human fantasies. Women and men desire and envy them. But no one can dethrone these sublime goddesses of the sex-appeal pantheon. Falta Lady is not a celebration of the feminine ideal in the male gaze. The challenge is to oppose it with a female gaze - a critical black doe's eye - that invites the audience to slip into the intimacy of an abstract dressing room where the varnish peels, the masks crack, the wigs fall from the sky and the queens of beauty strip off their souls more than their hips. If God created woman, here femmes fatales create a stage haunted by three kitsch Madonnas who shatter the myth by inventing the counter-models of a feminist counter-culture. In search of the ordinary.
