Brussels-based artist Yiphoon Chiem combines influences from martial arts such as kung fu, classic Khmer dance, hip hop and breakdance, weaving them together to create a highly idiosyncratic style. And weaves them into a highly personal style. B**** is a tribute to the archetype of the woman of multiple power Journey along through the history of wounded women and tortured and dispossessed mothers. A solo in striptease mode, a revelation of the masks we wear. The performance also explores the shadow side of ourselves. It is a walk through different stages of life and what follows: death, the spirit realm and rebirth.
