The Silicone Diaries (TRAILER)

Transsexual Nina Arsenault may be perceived as fake, but the sixty cosmetic surgeries that transformed her from an awkward man into a 36D-26-40 bombshell are anything but. The Silicone Diaries is a full, frank and fierce exploration of the contradictions associated with the quest for beauty, balanced by an intimate and spiritual account of Arsenaults adventures in plastic surgery. Buddies in Bad Times Theatres new Artistic Director, Brendan Healy directs Arsenault as she draws battles lines, wrestles with the conventions of patriarchy, and comes to peace with her radical queer body.

Its so easy to turn your nose at something or someone different. Its just as easy to pass judgement on something or someone you are not familiar with. To experience this piece is beyond entertainment / theatre, it was a valuable life lesson. It opened my mind. JD. xxx
