Her City! sees the women of Season 6 of The Centre for the Less Good Idea collaborating on an incisive performance exploring the physical and emotional labour that comes with navigating the world as a woman.
A devised performance directed by Faniswa Yisa, Her City! investigates the fears, joys, vulnerabilities, expectations and various everyday nuances and antagonisms that arise as a result of gendered divisions of labour as well as the effects of patriarchal energies in the workplace, the city and the home.
Through the use tools, sound, food, the body and the voice, various objects, symbols, and metaphors become the driving forces behind a performative vignette of the realities of being a woman in the city, in the arts, and in contemporary society as a whole.
