Katy Baird / CAMPO
Discover the bizarre, radical and welcoming oeuvre of Katy Baird!
The human brain registers all pleasure in a similar way – be it a delicious meal, a sexual thrill, a recreational substance or those little hearts on Instagram... But just how good does all this consumption truly make us feel?
Follow Katy Baird, dedicated hedonist and self-proclaimed hot-mess, as she unveils her journey into the pursuit of pleasure. This performance is her first collaboration and the start of a longer trajectory with CAMPO.
For this creation, she calls on the artistic eye of Kim Noble. With a similar fearlessness as we saw in Noble's Lullaby for Scavengers, and her signature humour and honesty, Baird offers a raw and unfiltered insight into the human need for distraction, exploring the depths of our desires and questioning the autonomy we have in choosing where we seek it.

Naked on stage but for neon straps embracing her, Baird is warm, loud and lost
Baird is somehow extraordinarily warm, inclusive and unthreatening and you may find yourself enjoying this surreal, funny, deeply odd evening
Katy Baird provides a raw and unfiltered glimpse into the human desire for connection.
Baird is a brilliant, clever and a funny performer.
Messy, anarchic and very funny.
