A event held at The Tobacco Factory on Thursday 5th June. The event starts at 19:30.
"This is bold, unapologetic, activist theatre that demands to be seen. Come and show up for the voices so often silenced—stand in solidarity, be moved, get angry."
__________________________
A powerful solo theatre show performed by Viv Gordon, featuring beautiful set design. Bold, raw, and deeply moving – where theatre meets activism in an unforgettable way.
Part show, part installation, part collective act of resistance.
I was like wot! Abuse has shaped my whole life, and no-one ever talks about it.
Listen.
Silence.
And around this time the NSPCC published the report about the 11 million…
and then Jimmy Savile and up to a thousand victims…
and everyone agrees it’s awful…
but you’re still the downer at the dinner party if you talk about yourself as part of that narrative.
In a tipi in the middle of Somerset, when she was a new mum and there were only the wilds, Viv Gordon remembers. Through her characteristic humour and warmth, Viv leads us through the act of remembering and what happened next. A powerhouse of a show combining installation, live performance and collective acts of resistance – this is a vital call to arms.
