Bo Jacobs

A solo performance on returning to the unconditioned self. breaking the sugar-coated rhythms of girlhood and reclaiming a truth that never needed permission, coins, or applause.

Flavoured Lipgloss is a solo performance that explores the tension between imposed rhythms and inner truth. Through strong visual symbolism, the piece reveals the orchestrated loops many of us inhabit; shaped by expectation, reward systems, and the outside gaze.

At the heart of the work lies a longing to return: to the body before conditioning, to vulnerability, and to a personal rhythm that is wilder, softer, and more honest. The performance reflects on how we trade our unapologetic self for temporary comfort, while something essential quietly fades.

Flavoured Lipgloss unfolds as an intimate reclaiming of inner authority. Rooted in a female perspective, the work combines movement with visually striking projections created in collaboration with visual artist Meis Belle Wahr, breaking the sugar-coated rhythms of girlhood and reclaiming a truth that never needed permission.
