Description:
West End New Act of the Year finalist 2024, Lucy Pook, explores a narrative of historical and contemporary representation in art, film and social media, to create a ‘Memento mori’ on the act of looking. Pursed Lip touches on minimally important "cultural" figures, superficial art theory and feminist light content. Straddling the fence between comedy and possibly superfluous to requirement performance art, Pook has promised to throw in a few jokes along the way, as a kind of humour palette cleanser. Come and sample the comedy sorbet (if you will), whilst quite possibly learning very little.
