A monologue wrapped in drag, satire, and philosophical comedy, this performance introduces audiences to a being who has lived for half a billion years. Claywoman speaks with cosmic detachment and vulnerable wit, inviting us to reflect on trauma, evolution, and the absurdity of human history.
The character is a creation of a New York-based actor and writer with a background in theatre, film, and club performance. Claywoman was developed at the legendary performance venue The Parlour Club, and the piece has since been presented at venues like The New Museum and MoMA PS1. Claywoman remains a cult figure who gently disarms audiences with her strange wisdom and mournful humour.
