A horny and gutsy one-woman show about hormones, myths around women’s sexuality and gender biases in scientific research. Tired of the current preconceptions around romantic love and attraction we have dived into the nitty-gritty of such themes as desire, interpersonal chemistry, consent using findings in the field of endocrinology, neuroscience and evolutionary psychology as a playground. The stage turns into a museum where the body and the behaviour of the performer become an art object, inviting the visitor to navigate the opposite poles of nature and culture.
Our exhibition has been inspired and loosely borrows from the works of female visual and performance artists around the world. Welcoming the voices of those that feel disregarded or dismissed by the medical world we want to talk about subjects still sadly deemed taboo such as menstruation pain, menopause, abortion, miscarriage and hormonal changes. This is a work-in-progress, we are still collecting voices for the show and you are more than welcome to contribute if you want to, please click here
“British theatre would be completely stymied without tiny, under-resourced venues such as CPT, which are a critical part of the theatre ecology.”
