SLOW - moving or operating, or designed to do so, only at a low speed
BURLESQUE - an absurd or comically exaggerated imitation of something
Peer into the dressing room, and who knows what characters you'll find — a washed-up diva refusing the spotlight; men in suits doing important business things; other-worldly creatures tying themselves in knots; or maybe if you're lucky, a real, ordinary human.
From the mind of one of the most exciting young artists in Aotearoa, Freya Silas Finch, comes a story a lifetime in the making. A story about transformation, dressing up, becoming nothing, and becoming everything.
Through absurd comedy, physical theatre, burlesque and many, many, many costume changes, A Slow Burlesque asks; if all the world's a stage, who are we when we exit stage left and strip off our costumes?
Silo Theatre proudly presents the world premiere of Freya Silas Finch's A Slow Burlesque.
Commissioned by Silo Theatre with support from Creative New Zealand and Silo Theatre Patrons.
