PERFS PUTES nights are characteristic events of SNAP. They aim to provide a space for sex workers to experiment with direct public expression, whether they are beginners or experienced performers. Most of the performances presented at this event will be shown for the first time, with their fragility and sincerity, and their potential to transform imaginaries. Because the prevailing narratives about sex work are still largely confined to invisibility or stereotype, melodrama or excitement, about fifteen sex workers take the stage tonight to expose their stories and bodies in action. The open doors are complex, funny, poetic, and moving. Of course. We will not stop saying it: sex workers are precious, their life choices are bold and courageous. Whores are beautiful.

Held Like A Pigeon

Kami Million

---

Held Like A Pigeon speaks on the complexity of identifying as a sex-worker. There is a tension between the search for anonymity yet wanting to be recognized. As a sex- worker there can be a vital need of staying anonymous. A daily act of hiding only to protect one's safety. The personal history of Kami’s grandfather who was a pigeon fancier became a threat of inspiration from which Kami started looking at pigeons as relatives. As a species that carries hate, hang out together, stick together and make precarious but practical nests that won’t break but are fragile. The pigeon experience might have more to do with SW-experience then foreseen.

Oh I beg of you

Reopened me to the pleasures of life”

The Lament of the Aggressor

L'Albatrice

---

It's the story of a monologue pretending to be a dialogue, of a clumsy attempt at redemption. It's my story, but it's also a universal story. I realized this by listening to other aggressors. They have reasons, mitigating circumstances. This is the lament of the aggressor. Trigger warning: sexual assault.

L'Albatrice identifies as a politicized DominArtist. Among their accomplishments, they co-founded the association Erosticratie, the festival EroSphère, the SubSpace games, and the School of Sadistic Arts. (A performance by and with L'Albatrice/Directed by Joseph Ling/Sound arrangements by David Pomlait)
