CL*T CULT To Perform At 54 Below
Directed by Ryan Cunningham, the show world-premiered at the NYC Fringe Festival.
54 BELOW is set to present Star Stone in Cl*t Cult on Tuesday, August 4 at 9:30pm. When Star Stone was living in California, she found herself amongst a group of people that were searching for a sex-positive community centered on connection, sexual wellness, and female empowerment. Instead, she found herself drawn into OneTaste, an organization that prosecutors and former members have described as operating like a cult, using manipulation and sexual, psychological, and economic abuse to control its members.
Cl*t Cult is a one-woman comedic solo show about the sexual wellness cult One Taste. OneTaste is an organization that promotes the OM technique- a clit stroking 15 minute practice that claims to result in an org*sm. Based on the true story of one woman's journey to have her first org*sm which results in accidentally joining a sex cult. This is a show about the impact of sex negative culture, power and control dynamics, and the sexual exploitation of women.
Cl*t Cult is written and performed by Star Stone, directed by Ryan Cunningham, with music and lyrics by Star Stone and Charlie O'Connor. The solo show had its world premiere this spring at the New York City Fringe Festival.
