I AM WOMAN

"Get ready to be captivated, challenged, and charmed by this magnificent homage to womanhood." - ★★★★★ Fringefeed, 2024

Step into the raw, powerful world of I AM WOMAN, returning for its final year at Perth Fringe Festival. This bold, multi-disciplinary production celebrates the full spectrum of womanhood through dance, aerial circus, and spoken word.

Journey through 8 archetypes—each a unique expression of feminine energy. From the primal Wild Woman to the sensual Lover, the commanding Boss to the tender Mother. Meet the cheeky Inner Child, the prayerful Priestess, the wise Crone, and the show-stopping Queen who closes the performance with power and flair.

This is not a show that plays nice. It’s fierce, emotive, and unforgettable.
