This show belongs to the Fringe2018 season. This season is now over.

Power Ballad

Power Ballad is an angry, feminist, live art investigation of language and its sometimes hidden ideologies. Part performance lecture, part karaoke party; Power Ballad deconstructs gendered linguistic histories and rips apart contemporary language to find a new articulation of pleasure, anger and femaleness. Using an 80s soundtrack to rival any school disco, Power Ballad is anarchic, loud and political filled with feminist rage and Annie Lennox.
"Many shows lay claim to gender fluidity, but this is the real deal: othering, teasing, provoking. The tone moves between hysteria and terror, joy and despair." ★★★★ The List
