What is a Radical Permissionist? Mae West - a queer, trans sex worker- wants you to be one. After nearly a lifetime of experience in the sex trade, Mae is moving on. This one-night-only performance of $7 Girl offers an erotic, unhinged, audacious swan song of virtuosic storytelling, innovative aerial work, and titillating improvisation to immerse you in the taboo social issues that have too long gone unheard. This “TED talk meets strip club meets Cirque Du Soleil” will act as the final sounding stage for Mae to interrogate the possibility of a world in which their worth is no longer attached to dildos or dollar signs, and what it will take to get there.
