The performance narrates the story of Annie Sprinkle, an American porn star, and sex-positive feminist. Her sexual evolution is explored through a series of burlesque-like autobiographical multi-media vignettes.
Version is a series of bootleg performances and the documentation related to it. Performance is here investigated as a learning process and a mean to reconvey discourses, stories, histories, meanings, moments and feelings. The original performance, its documentation, the new version of the performance, and again its documentation, are intertwined, distorted, re-used, republished.
