Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2018 – Baby Face

The Edinburgh Reporter / Chloe Nelkin


Hey Baby! Welcome to a world of knee socks, bunches, lollypops, bubble-gum and models adopting the childlike expressions of six-year-old girls.

In this brave and outlandish performance, Katy Dye questions if innocence is truly as sexy as we’re told. Baby Face – winner of The Autopsy Award 2018 – explores the infantilisation of adult women; it is a daring look into the paradox of living in a society that continues to infantilise women.

Baby Face is an exposure of our contradictory society when it comes to women’s bodies and how they are treated.
