Woman, Life, Solidarity – a whirling extravaganza

OUR TURN

Sat 18th Mar - Sun 19th Mar
16:20 (
60 mins)
Dance Physical Theatre & Circus
Newcomer / Physical Theatre / Women’s Voices
Tickets from £13.00
Venue: Cavern
Age Guidance: Suitable For All

The ancient practice of whirling is being re-purposed in this offering as surreal, female only physical theatre, that not only puts the HER back into heresy, but a soul into solidarity. Using an eclectic, but middle-eastern heavy playlist engages simultaneously with the origins of whirling but also with on-going and very current issues of conflict and oppression in the region and beyond. Snippets of translation from the lyrics together with their Visual Vernacular interpretation, striking visuals of a steam-punk persuasion create vignettes for both a trance experience of whirling and for a deeper reflection on fears about prejudices of who we are, where we’re from and where we want to fly. The intention is to invite the audience, via this hypnotic technique, to be fellow travellers in search for the road, a flight path to a more open and colourful sky.
