  "account": "Sigrid Lauren and Monica Mirabile, the artists behind FlucT, have made a return to the stage after a five-year break. The performance duo, known for their high-energy physicality and exploration of themes such as control, consent, and the female body, have unveiled their new show \"Tough on the Tongue.\" Set to run at OCDChinatown in New York City through January 22, the installation features a blend of dances, new and old sculptures, and video. OCDChinatown's founder, Liutas MvH, welcomed FlucT back with open arms, giving the artists a space to exhibit their work without any restrictions. MvH expressed how FlucT's work had transformed the space into a magical dimension during their hiatus, which had felt like a job. The artists see their performances as a reflection of contemporary women's experiences and express that their work is symbolic, portraying what women go through in today's society.",
