Ann Liv Young (New York)

Ann Liv Young’s shows are vulgar, unscrupulous and controversial. In “Sherry Show” the word is her chosen instrument. The plot is replaced by dialogue.

Sherry is a figure that also turns up in other shows, an extravagant, feminist southern American, honest, direct, quick-witted and sharp-tongued. She provokes the audience by shamelessly asking about topics such as anal sex, lies, violence – without fear of offending people but with an indisputable talent for getting them to talk. Thus, the artist creates an unusual situation for the audience: being in the same room as Sherry means letting yourself in for unpredictable and extreme experiences; and, last but not least, for a confrontation with yourself.
