A one-woman, feminist, clown theatre show, of a male chef preparing,
roasting, and serving up a chicken. A 55-minute extravaganza of clown,
physical comedy, dance, lip syncing, poetry, and audience involvement.
CHICK-IN SHOW, by Athena Amoret is playful, bright, absurd, and
unapologetic. Highlighting the objectification of the female body,
waking up to the patriarchy and the language that we use, whilst wearing
yellow rubber gloves on her feet. The show centralises around the theme
of Violence Against Women and Girls and although the topic is a serious
one, the show is light and fun with lots of laughter. Athena focuses on
the language that she has grown up hearing referring to women and girls.
This will all be done through being a chick, chicken and chef which
hopefully amplifies the absurdity of the abuse women and girls face
every day. It is in parts grotesque, uncomfortable, vulnerable, and most
certainly silly and innovative. Suitable for 16+, contains nudity and
disturbing themes; sexual abuse, self-harm and rape.
