Eisa Jocson

Eisa Jocson’s performances leave an indelible impression on her audience. Cunning, unsettling and persistent, this Philippine performer dismantles the gender roles of the erotic entertainment industry. Her third creation «Host» focusses on the Philippine women who work as geishas in Japanese clubs. As a «one-woman-entertainment-service-machine» she runs through the entire vocabulary of the various female dances so her audience can experience how the respective stereotypes affect the notion of femininity.
