Full Surrogacy Now is a no-men-show created for the Perm Shpagin factory and based on Sophie Lewis's utopian novel Full Surrogacy Now. Sophie Lewis tears down decades of essentialist and contradictory assumptions about labour, motherhood and property to offer us the possibility of new ways of living with and for each other.This is a documentary project about eight Russian citizens with experience of surrogate motherhood, about their experiences, thoughts and opinions on Lewis's concept.
Creating the show without a single actor, Elina Kulikova mixes video art, lighting design and giant paraffin sculptures that melt in front of the audience during the performance.
