$7 Girl
What is a "radical permissionist"?

In the lineage of Almanac's ensemble-devised, autobiographical circus theatre pieces, $7 Girl uses virtuosity, storytelling, aerial work, and expressive movement to bring audiences into social issues that are often underheard. This quirky and audacious piece explores sex in personal, political, and industrial contexts as Mae West, a queer, trans sex worker, questions the possibility of a world in which their worth is no longer attached to dildos and dollar signs. Unapologetically, it combats shame, demands action, and invites us all to become Radical Permissionists.
A provocative exploration of sex, power, and justice. Melissa Strong, Broad Street Review
