When news articles featuring Bella Hadid wearing a bald cap referred to her as an AI alien robot, I knew I wanted to write something about it.
Someone being bald is often the first thing used to shock people, or it’s the monster in films, or it’s to point at for comedy.
This cabaret performance BELLA BALDID was inspired by this media frenzy and the idea that through drag, clown and comedy I can reclaim these differences.
