Performance description about WHIPPING PART
Sometimes she is trying to hit audience`s backs and hips by her custom made whips during performance. if they want to get it. She is big against of VIOLENCE. There is a paradox but she would like to prove that BDSM is not violence. Why does she make this kind of activity? Why does she hit to people with her whips? It is a pleasure and pain activity as well as traditional conceptual art for her. According to her own experience, Hate created huge energy and despair in her childhood. She started her work as Dominatrix performer in lesbian BDSM theater JAIL Osaka Japan since 2009. The first 2 years she was crazy about doing it. she especially would love to make whip scars to people. Also it’s a healing activity to herself and the possibility to release mind herself. After 2 years She was slowly changing her mind and also her arm was totally fucked up for too much hitting people by her whips.
Her energy was finally almost empty. It’s probably hard for normal people to understand the meaning of this actions and that some people are getting energy from pain. also She recognized there is so many possibility and paradox for example beyond the pain and pleasure. And so many people can feel Catharsis. Her purpose is not torturing. She wants to create just pure energy and strong spiritual connection.
