Cake & Violence is a food-fetish-fever-dream. IT’S A solo show. it’s a darkly comedic self-exploration of identity. it’s a lot of frosted fun.

In this debut solo show by emerging webcomic artist and screenwriter Natalie ‘Nat’ Griffen, Nat plays a plastic-suited and knife-wielding protagonist who delivers a bunch of self-reflective monologues while smashing a LOT of cakes. Why? Because it’s the only way she knows how to feel ALIVE!

Underneath the icing, this absurdist performance is about confronting our love-hate relationships with ourselves by reconnecting to not only our body, but everybody. The show speaks to the personal quest to find out who we are, who we’re supposed to be and ultimately—who cares? Nat wants to find the freedom that lies in achieving a sense of  self-security and letting it all go.
