Description
Sour-Puss: The Opera tells the sometimes fictional, sometimes emotionally biographical story of a woman grappling with her own sexuality and sense of self, created over 4 years. Consisting of photographs and drawings, the project was born out of the unlikely friendship between the two collaborators - queer artists Diogo Duarte and Jessica Mitchell. The 'Sour-Puss' is a character based on real-life Jessica and real-life Diogo, resulting in a composite of both collaborators' life experiences.
