Guests: HOLY LOATHING (Ireland)

A hybrid puppet and ventriloquism performance explores the taboo subject of sexual violence against nuns by Catholic pri

Choose ticketsEvent website ↗

This performance delves into a deeply unsettling and often-silenced issue within the Catholic Church: the sexual abuse of nuns by priests. Using large puppets and a single actress as narrator and manipulator, the play brings to light testimonies that expose a dark history of violence. It's a powerful and challenging piece, part of a doctoral research project, that aims to break the taboo surrounding this topic. The use of hybrid puppets and ventriloquism adds a unique, perhaps unsettling, layer to the storytelling, making it a compelling experience for those interested in socially conscious and experimental theater.
