We are familiar with Eisa Jocson as a pole dancer, as well as in Macho Dancer, a performance in which her dance investigates the masculinity of Filipino club dancers (presented at the Beursschouwburg in 2013).
In HOST, Eisa Jocson plays your hostess, ready to entertain you. She is inspired by the ‘hostess clubs’ of Tokyo, where Japanese-Filipina hostesses engage in ‘affectieve arbeid’. In these special clubs, female or transgender hostesses entertain hard-working Japanese men, toying with female stereotypes. The image of what femininity precisely is becomes the basis for economic transactions. Eisa Jocson reveals how easily the female body adapts to the prevalent image of femininity in popular culture. She unravels the entertainment strategies and the politics of labour to which these women are subjected.
