About the performance

A queen: unsteady, insecure, arrogant, and stylish. A pop star dressed in plush toys. Vulnerable and glamorous. An endearing and comedic tightrope walker. A singer with an offbeat tone. A tragedy in neon and confetti. 

MORE IS MORE is an eclectic maxi-combo. A queen balances — both literally and figuratively — between self-protection and self-revelation. It is an over-the-top response to the superficiality of the world, while also posing fundamental questions about identity, self-image, and authenticity. Who are we really beneath the layers of glitter and illusion? It is a tribute to imperfection and authenticity, cast in a unique, extravagant circus form. 

Van Acker constantly walks the line between glitter and unmasking.
