Derived from found footage of an 8th‑grade talent show, the work juxtaposes adolescent girls performing a slow, off‑rhythm dance with a voice‑over listing gender‑specific, transformative sexual memories from ages 4‑18. Through this layering, the film explores how young girls become both performer and object, how identity is shaped by external gaze and internal desire — the spectacle and the spectator.
