SPECK

Pudding arm dances to the trumpets of ‘Hips don't lie’. Jiggly belly waves to the sound of thighs slapping together.

Unpack your Speck, because Speckira and the SPECKIES are coming to town! With plenty of gold on her hips, performance artist Frida Zack and her guests celebrate a party with human fat in ‘SPECK’. There will be wiggling, shaking, dancing and sweating. Between shame and intimacy, lust and fragility, it's about moments of radical self-acceptance and the problem areas of (dance) society.

Plain language

Arms wobble like jelly.
Belly waves.
Thighs slap together.

Speckira and the SPECKIES shake their fat!

Frida Zack is putting on a show together with the plus-size performers SPECKIES and two other dancers. The show is called ‘SPECK’. It's about body fat. In the show, there's a lot of jiggling, dancing and sweating.

The question is: is fat really the problem? Or is the problem that society dictates how a body should look?

Frida Zack was born in 1997 to a German working-class family in North Rhine-Westphalia. She is a fat and queer performance artist based in Berlin. She describes her interdisciplinary work as ‘embodiment under construction’ and understands the body as material and archive.
