Contra
Laura Murphy/Contra Productions | 2019
Touring internationally since 2019, this fierce, witty, uncompromising and highly physical show interrogates personal, social and historical occupations of the female body and explores, literally, where such bodies are positioned and how we are meant to look at them.
Expect scenes of nudity, aerial acrobatics, and explicit references to mythical reptiles and female sexuality.
Laura Murphy uses her naked body and acrobatic skills to explore the history of female oppression in a blistering show blending stand‑up, confessional and circus performance.
★★★★ Fest Magazine (Edinburgh Fringe, 2019)
It’s a very well constructed piece, writing and direction working hand-in-glove.
