Performance

Location:

Grand Luxe Hall, Western Front

Description:

In this brief performance, Stefan St-Laurent removed his shirt and began a heartfelt lip sync to Maxwell’s cover of “This Woman's Work” (1997). 

While his facial expressions initially appeared to convey genuine emotion, the authenticity of the performance was blurred when an assistant began cutting onions beside him to produce tears.

Video documentation is available upon request.
