Itch in the Stitch – a work for one body, two minds and a tub of lard – explores the subject of self-image, gluttony, and obsession. Pushing the envelope past the obvious stereotypes, the solo work performed in a fat suit takes audiences on a journey past the superficiality of a “skin” that is eventually shed, down to the character’s inner core.

Itch in the Stitch spits out chunks of unsettling revelations. It is a pilgrimage of struggle, self-revelation, and ultimate liberation. Like knowledge that can be tasted but not swallowed, or yearning for liberation that seeks to understand the nature of enslavement – powerful and raw, the work is like an itch that can’t be scratched.
