SILO presents: A Slow Burlesque
Show Info
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; a Hollywood leading man strutting his stuff; a punk poet waxing lyrical; 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; about dressing up; about becoming nothing; about 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.
