18 – 22 June 

Award-winning, queer performer, ELOINA, hangs two beef steaks from her labia, butchers them up & sizzles them on a grill. And… her mum is in the show.

Seamlessly melding performance art and comedy clowning, HIGH STEAKS discusses rising demands in young people for labiaplasty. Through live conversations with her mum and recorded interviews with labia-owners, HIGH STEAKS is a call for increased visibility of varied vulvas and a celebration of our vulvas in all their shapes and sizes.

HIGH STEAKS sold out VAULT Festival twice, making a transfer to the largest venue at the festival for the final weeks as a result of receiving 5-star reviews across the board. The show won the Summerhall Pick of VAULT Festival 2023 award, VAULT Show of the Week award and the Summerhall Lustrum Award after a completely sold-out run at Edinburgh Fringe 2023. 

The show has received three OFFIE nominations and was picked as part of the Top 5 Theatre Shows 2023 in The Guardian as well as 50 Unmissable Shows at Edinburgh Fringe, ToDoList and Top 3 Shows to See at VAULT Festival, Time Out.
