Dublin Fringe Festival 2023: Performance interrogates non-consensual sex and the culture it gives rise to
-centric drama featuring student housemates Erin, Mia, Caitlyn and Grace, all in their early-20s, runs at pace towards a harrowing reality.
The foursome, who came together in college, move the way students do – Kings Cups, broken bathroom mirrors, celebrity cardboard cut-outs – until something happens to make them stop. With this, they deal with the grown-up realities of womanhood, uncomfortably and imperfectly, at a time when proper agency has yet been afforded to them.
For 60 minutes, the four women – who also bring to life a myriad of other circumstantial characters – stunningly portray the process of mental ill-health, coercive control and healing in real-time, while finding the edges of trauma in different ways.At several times, the audience is directly spoken to, aiming unflinchingly and with a clear, controlled voice, to interrogate non-consensual sex, the culture it gives rise to and the life-destroying aftermath of those impacted.
