What is beauty? What color is it, what gender is it, and who decides who is, or isn’t beautiful?? Inspired by Dr. Ana De Freitas Boe’s dissertation on gender, sexuality, and race in late18th century aesthetics, this production uses physicality and wit to examine the aesthetic of the human form, the lengths society goes to to find, enhance, and define it, and how things have changed, or not, in the last two plus centuries
