Imagine your favourite female performance artists channelled through some twisted version of American Idol. Throw in some eggs, feathers and piss and you’re almost there with this ultimate break up show. The Famous Lauren Barri Holstein, also known as ‘The Famous,’ is a performance maker of large-scale, stage-based, disastrous feminist spectacles.
