Electronic dance music artist Marina Ann Hantzis, better known as Sasha Grey, will perform in Costa Rica as part of her ongoing world tour, which has already stopped in Argentina, Chile and Peru.

Ms. Hantzis has been involved in EDM since 2011, which was the year when she announced her retirement from the pornographic film industry. As Sasha Grey, she first gained notoriety in the United States talk show circuit, where she discussed her desire to enter the adult film world as soon as she was legally able to. To this effect, she started filming at the age of 18 and became the youngest performer to win industry awards.

As a porn actress, Sasha Grey was known for her inclination to filming extreme sex acts as well as for her advocacy and intellectual approach to the industry. Although she stopped filming at the age of 21, she waited to announce her retirement because she remained one of the most popular porn actresses in the world despite being inactive.

Sasha Grey is also known for her starring role in The Girlfriend Experience, a experimental film directed by Steven Soderbergh. The movie stands out for its early dramatization of the Great American Recession and for going into detail about the lucrative (and illegal) trade of high-class call girls in the United States. The Girlfriend Experience was later made into a television series on the Starz network.

As an EDM artist, Sasha Grey mostly performs progressive sets. She will appear at Club Vertigo, located in Paseo Colón, on June 18th. This will be the first time she performs in Costa Rica. The opening acts will be DJs Maria Wabe, Luis Hernandez and Insaniam, all from Costa Rica. Tickets start at 18,000 colones (about $35). For more information, visit www.morbocr.com
