BORN TO DIE: A Lana Del Rey Anniversary Party MARKET HOTEL // 1140 Myrtle Ave, Brooklyn, NYC, NY

*Born to Die* is a stage work that takes its title from the phrase tattooed across Lana Del Rey’s knuckles, treating the pop image as raw material rather than a punchline. It moves between song, monologue, and choreographed gesture to examine femininity, desire, and self-mythology in an American register. The piece has circulated through downtown and festival contexts, with a New York City premiere presented in an off-Broadway black box setting. Its most pointed insight is how easily glamour becomes a language for harm when the audience is trained to keep watching.
