Posey Mehta: Asking For It - Brighton Fringe
Posey Mehta: Asking For It
Posey Mehta is a submissive and a masochist. And they are asking for things they have no legal right to ask for. You must decide whether to give them what they want, even if that means breaking the law.

In this powerful protest against the Spanner Ruling and the Domestic Abuse Act 2021, Mehta submits their body to the audience and asks them to hurt it. What follows is a surprisingly tender, joyful, and wholesome dismantling of so many of the tired stereotypes that exist around kink.

Following in the tradition of--but ultimately subverting--Marina Abramovic's Rhythm 0 and Yoko Ono's Cut Piece, this bold new piece of participatory performance art offers a window into a world where violence isn't cruelty, but care.

Mehta is an "unhinged" (Ed Fringe Review) award-winning live artist, blending drag, clown, and performance art. As their drag alter-ego Mitzi Fitz (K Factor season 2 winner), they run the sell-out sensation Big Fat Cabaret, London's best (and only) fat-centric cabaret.
