Are You the Last Slice?

What does it mean to be desired? To be devoured? To be the last slice of cake? Selected for Mark DeGarmo Dance’s 15th Anniversary Virtual Salon Performance Series for Social Change 2025, this immersive multimedia solo performance challenges the veiled nature of exploitation. Through surreal imagery, movement, and light, it unravels how beauty can be a façade for control, how celebration can mask coercion, and how desire is manipulated into entrapment.

Blending gothic symbolism and raw emotion, Are You the Last Slice? is a feminist allegory of power, sacrifice, and the cycles of oppression. A young girl climbs a pristine white wedding cake, drawn by the illusion of beauty and promise—only to discover the brutal reality beneath.

The audience is invited to witness, participate, and ultimately question: when the veil is lifted, what remains?
