A Spectacle of Herself
Contra Productions
UK
A bold, cinematic, and acrobatic odyssey through mental health, queerness, rage, and the 21st-century space race.
In A Spectacle of Herself, Laura Murphy launches a vulnerable and fiercely personal mission to take up space, spill over, and be unapologetically seen. Blending autobiography, lip sync, aerial performance, video, creative captioning, and her signature cheeky critique, Laura shape-shifts through identities and landscapes—on a mission to serve herself up[in]appropriately for your consumption.
This is a raw, entertaining, and politically charged journey that blurs the line between the personal and the political.
