A White Rabbit riddles with a desperate bride. Two trolls plague a fragile mind. A girl stumbles into a home to be greeted by three bears. And they all die.
A dissection of fairytales, their haunting origins and the expectations they induce in adulthood—seemingly innocuous tales will be twisted, as we descend down the rabbit hole.
"Gather ‘round children, no that isn’t right, This story would give them a terrible fright. Your small children should be tucked into bed, With their night-lights on and their bellies fed. We’re bringing to light what lurks in the dim Festering and vile, all slimy with sin. This story’s unfitting for your little runts ’Cause this story’s about some gawd awful cnts.”*
Set in a modern dystopian world—dressed in concrete and graffiti — three vignettes explore ideology, gender, body image, addiction and abuse, all told through the foggy lens of fairytales. An electrifying night of theatre, featuring song, dance, poetry and exquisitely crafted performances. This disconcerting piece will lull you into the familiar, before leaching into your fears.
