A live show about a dead woman.
Outside the Louvre in Paris, a woman’s face is taken without permission. It becomes more famous than she ever was. You’ve seen her without realising who she is. You might have even kissed her. This new live theatre performance explores the twin human obsessions of intimacy and autonomy in a show that begins in an intimacy coordination workshop and ends with an out-of-body experience. Please note: Contains use of smoke machines and strobe lighting, reference to mental health, suicide and sexual violence Funded by the Arts Council / An Chomhairle Ealaíon, produced by Once Off Productions. |
