Mercedes Benz is an exotic dancer. On a somewhat banal and mundane night at work, she takes a moment of time out to reflect on her time on one of Melbourne's most 'dangerous' and fascinating late night attractions.
Mercedes Benz... Awkwardly is an honest, comedic look at the behind the scenes world of an exotic performer. Glitter, champagne and stiletto heels are par for the course, creating an unattainable image - a fantasy persona. The performance is far more glamorous than the reality – the tan is fake and so is the playful, seductive dialogue.
Thinking about superannuation and avoiding getting your g-string caught on your shoes is all hidden by the mask of a showgirl. Using interpretive dance and song, Mercedes bends the truth, awkwardly, but lets you in on all her little secrets.
