(Au Sujet Des Femmes Puissantes)
A Vibrational Revolution of Being channeled by a Goddess. Part electro-ritual, part theremin-experiment, part light-fantastic. Ultra-conscious comedy by award-winning, internationally-touring, terribly present clown. Come as you are. Leave transformed.
"…an extraordinary show …a wonderful experience" Scotsman
"…takes femininity and turns it into the most spiritual, enchanting and indeed: powerful of phenomena…" Ed Fringe Review
A retelling of a telling of a telling,
via the kitchen table of inspired witch Mia Mohr,
from the wizard mind of eco-philosopher Mohammed Taleb,
and with special thanks to creative lunatic Petra Massey.

People are beautiful. Definitely.
And, for the most part, total idiots.
What if, instead of trying to hide that, we embraced it?
There’s a whole world of beautiful performance to
be made if we connect our magnificent inner idiot, accept the moment, take a risk, leap after an impulse and surf the ridiculous wave of our own preposterous glory. Why not.
In these workshops we play lots of games, laugh at each other, laugh harder at ourselves and get some great insight into who we are as performers and the incredible potential to be found in working with what we’ve got.
