Event Info

In order to investigate power, male-dominated society and the status quo, the company are joined by a vibrant group of young performers, stage managers and producers, drawn from Gulbenkian Arts Centre’s youth groups, as well as a 16ft inflatable man. 

Using their distinctive blend of movement, music and sardonic wit, these women join forces to waltz their way to wisdom in a merry dance around today’s burning political issues — on a mission, quite simply, to save the world.

You will probably never view maypoles in quite the same way again… 

Performed at: 

  • b0ing! Festival outside Jarman Building, University of Kent, Canterbury
