A spectacular new large scale promenade show from Olivier award-winning performance maker Marisa Carnesky (Carnesky’s Ghost Train) featuring over 33 unique Showwomxn from the world of new cabaret, circus and live art.
A ground breaking herstorical show, gathering many of the UK’s key artists in the world of contemporary and popular performance, this is a cast of highly skilled and truly diverse womxn. Together they reclaim lost stories from fairground and circus through a new feminist lens. Celebrating performers who may have been marginalised and overlooked, the work fuses entertainment heritage with cutting edge live art.
The amazing cast, with attitude and agency, bring all the thrills and the danger, with death-defying stunts and jaw dropping performances. Now its time for the women to run the show!
‘Formidable, feminist, satirical, and spectacular, this is a show which appreciates the corporeal and spiritual in tandem.’
