BABE2: NOT YOUR BABE by Barbis Ruder
BABE2 is a response to todays pop culture. It shows the fake self-empowerement by explicit movement, food porn and status symbols. She is pink. She is not a baby-girl, but a babe. And she owns it.
BABE2 is a part of the stage Performical ?Barbis in Babeland? which was premiered in May 2016 in WUK performing arts, Vienna.
