Are you haunted by the never-ending and repetitious nightmares of being containing by your fleshy vessel? Does your body leak and ooze? Are bots stealing your image and creating alternative versions of you in 00 and 11s? Cursed Messages in lipstick on you mirror? Ectoplasm left on your personal massager? Specters blasting whale song while you’re trying to give someone a relaxing hand job in your local suburban massage parlour? Don’t worry – you’re not alone.
On a dark and stormy night, sex worker, towel art enthusiast, gender fraudster and self doxxer M.V Pask (a.k.a queenie bon bon) brings you the off off off broadway production of Horny Ghosts. A queer gothic melodrama of terror and delight. A journey through the ooky spooky voids and apparition filled crevasse of houses, bodies and the world wide wiggly web.
Part chronicle, part love letter, part brothel intro, part pirated copy of Microsoft Office 2009.
An honouring to all who have been on swirly, whirly adventures of 0s and 1s with IP addresses to horni for community standards and chronically sick bodies more mysterious than a miss marple marathon. Let us all shimmy and cruise together through forgotten selves, abandon brothels and vacated digital multiverses. A joyous come hither wink from the spectres of your old backpage ad.
Review
“It’s a curious mix of someone giving a presentation that’s also stand-up. A tender performance on the horrors of ageing, the perilous hoops the neoliberal internet increasingly forces sex workers to jump through, and what it means to be a chronically ill person and worker in a time that fetishises productivity, Horny Ghosts is an ode to rest and the spectres of selves past. It’s a eulogy.”
