MEAT

Sat 19th March 2022 - Sat 19th March 2022

19th March 2022 7:30pm - A dirty dive into the foundations of power, an injection of a new narrative!

An electrifying roar of fury, a rallying cry of protest and a unifying celebration of strength packed with heroism and heart. MEAT is a hybrid of gig theatre, poetry, drag, and dance featuring live original music. The story follows Jack from the age of 9 into her 30s, detailing her journey through puberty, misogyny, identity.

Jack is all of us; a victim, a phoenix, a superhero.
