Bimbo culture for the young
Although the societal debate about sexualization has somewhat quieted down, the notion of ‘bimbo culture’ still causes concern and critique. Theater producers Boogaerdt en Van der Schoot created an installation that can be seen as the nightmare of a sexualized visual culture gone mad. In a special setting, the audience is exposed to 105 minute horror peep show that five actrices perform live behind their backs. The show was on in Frascati, a small theater that also organizes theater discussions for a youn (under 27 audience). After Friday’s show, I participated in a debate about ‘Bimbo’ and bimbo culture. I explained how audiences make meaning and elaborated one the sexual morals of today’s youth.
