In her one-woman confessional work slut (r)evolution, Boston-based storyteller Cameryn Moore chronicles her slow ascent from her days as a nerdy Mormon teen who mined paperback novels for steamy content to a life of sexual prolificacy.
Using out-of-order vignettes, she details her escapades as an exchange student in Russia; an eight-year, highly domestic lesbian relationship; her return to sleeping with men; and her initiation into sado-masochistic kink at Burning Man, the annual festival of hippie hedonism in the Nevada desert.
Though expectedly crass, the show offers more than a few moments of sweetness and vulnerability.
And it's empowering. Moore is a brassy, full-figured, short-haired, bisexual woman. Her tale of sexual empowerment will surely hearten viewers whose body types and personal narratives don't usually pop up in mainstream TV show and film.
Unfortunately, unlike many of the trysts Moore describes, slut (r)evolution doesn't afford audiences the knee-shaking climax they might have been hoping for.
