ABOUT ROXANNE

What does it mean to occupy the in-between? In between the gender binary, in between sexualities, in between nationalities, in between homes, in between lovers. What are the limitations of this perceived in-betweenness, and can it be liberating?

These questions form the basis of Roxanne, a music-performance-exhibition that takes creative inspiration from the 2001 cult classic film Hedwig and The Angry Inch. Like the character in the film, Roxanne feels limited by their liminal status in the world: living in between identities. Roxanne forms their identity around their constraints. 

Can they undress themselves of the limitations society puts on them, or are they destined to be bound forever?

 

Through use of a wide range of artistic mediums, from audio-play to mime, Roxanne looks to contextualize the in-between through an exhibition that make us aware of identities that exist next to the heteronormative.
