The Juliet Cycle
Wednesday 17 September from 7:30pm to 8:30pm Thursday 18 September from 7:30pm to 8:30pm Friday 19 September from 7:30pm to 8:30pm Saturday 20 September from 7:30pm to 8:30pm
Immersive and compelling, three performers represent the arc of womanhood as they examine threads of Juliet's psyche. Join us for an exploration of liveness, self-reckoning, and raw confession.
‘Why do women keep f***ing each other up? Doth thou have an answer?’
Shakespeare! Contraceptive pill side effects! Internalised misogyny! Maybe a song! Probably cake!
Milestones of misinformation will test fragile lines of connection between three generations of Juliets. We juxtapose Juliet’s legend with our own poor life choices, as we collectively consume the next cycle.
An experimental and community-building event, some audience members will be encouraged to participate as they feel comfortable, as led by our performers.
