Venus is a piece made with teenage girls. It is a piece about the erotization of youth and what it is to be a girl in the 2020s. It is a project about a teenage girl growing up in a patriarchal society.

Venus reveals the part outsiders play in the understanding and appreciation of beauty and  value in a girl’s life. It stages everyday feminist fights had by youth.

It forces the ghosting needy subject to fall (for a moment) and draws Venus again by the means of contemporary dance, performance and song.
