THE CATHEDRAL

A prostitute takes refuge in the Cathedral. Two women pray, sing and explore their deepest desires. A girl twists, writhes and contorts in an attempt to fit in to the hegemony.

The Cathedral celebrates women at their most vulnerable and most compelling. The empty space is transformed into a confessional; into a crucible of female sexuality; into a dark and dreamlike pit of shame and redemption.

“We aren’t interested in making didactic, burdensome theatre which preaches at audiences or

tells them how to think and feel. The beauty of The Cathedral is it is a sequence of sounds, images, songs and

jokes where each individual audience member finds something totally different. Some discover feminist rage.

Some people see a clowning show with four very funny women. Others a railing against institutional oppression,

or even a complicated love-hate letter to religion.”
