Annie Sprinkle Project

joyful raven · June 26, 2022 uncertified reviewer
This show was brilliant! One of my favorite at the fringe. It was the EXACT medicine I needed in this moment of female rights being stripped away. Sophia’s performance was deeply compelling and crisp. The show unabashedly celebrates female pleasure and sexuality, which is still sadly a revolutionary act. Docu-theater artivism at it’s best. I hope this show will have a long live beyond this festival.... full review
