ThisEgg’s Josie Dale-Jones discusses A Little Inquest Into What We Are All Doing Here

Elisabeth Gunawan captivates from the moment she steps onto the stage at Streatham Space Project, emerging from an unassuming cardboard Amazon box clad in a worn out wedding dress to kickstart Unforgettable Girl. Her narrative orbits the cultural phenomenon of ‘mail-order brides’, exploring the intersecting themes of cultural exploitation, white privilege, and the violence inflicted upon marginalised bodies. Gunawan breaks the fourth wall early-on, by playfully pitching her offer of £19.99 mail-order bride services to any wealthy suitors in the audience.
