Is Rape a Crime? So begins INDELIBLE, a new solo performance written and performed by Holly Hughes in collaboration with Katie Pearl, that imagines that our heroine, legendary and somewhat infamous dyke performance artist has been retained by none other than Professors Anita Hill and Christine Blasey Ford to crack not only their cases -- don't tell anyone but they have some solid leads - but all the crimes of the patriarchy. Drawing upon her vast knowledge of Brit Box mysteries featuring weathered heroines solving heinous crimes in sensible shoes and bad weather, as well as a certain fearlessness born of having to break down queer theory to a gaggle of neckbeards in a black box theater, toiling in a vast and dingy office with the cold cases that just aren't cold to them lit not by bare bulbs but the light of dozens of burning bras, one for each year the Equal Rights Amendment has been pending, our sapphic sleuth has tracked the patriarchy to it's hideout where it’s licking its wounds and rebranding itself as irony.

Holly Hughes is a writer and performer, the author of four books and a recipient of the 2026 Ruth Maleczech Award as well as a Guggenheim fellow. They are currently a Professor at the Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design at the University of Michigan.

Katie Pearl is co founder of the acclaimed PearlDAmour theater company, which has produced over the last 25 years a wide range of ambitious and diverse performances including everything site specific installations to immersive multimedia plays. She currently is on faculty at Wesleyan University.
