HEAD OVER HEELS!

20 Jun

Director Nancy Ma
Producer Grace Taylor
Writer Kara Hardie
Designer Sorcha Corcoran
Special thanks to Thalia Droussioti for sharing her story and personal experiences.

An immigrant struts from flat-footed outsider to high-heeled status… until a drag queen and an actor stiletto-stampede her story, thrift-flipping it into an ill-fitting cabaret couture. In a Britain of platform politics, who has the right to tell your story if they haven’t walked a mile in your shoes?

ALSO LOOK OUT FOR: Walk a Mile in My Shoes – A platform of Peckham’s favourite business owners – an exhibition to explore their experiences of immigration, fashion, and identity. More information to be announced shortly.

Show duration: 70 mins
Content warnings: Racism, xenophobia, microaggressions, classism, strong language, physical violence, audience interaction, references to drugs, reference to teenage pregnancy, sexual content.
