Welcome to a vibrational revolution of being, channelled by a goddess.
Part electro-ritual, part theremin-experiment, part light-fantastic.
Lucy Hopkins embodies the Fringe’s most relentlessly in-touch-with-herself
spirit guide – swinging raven hair, intense staring eyes, and physically retching
with the sheer effort of simply existing. Inspired by a retelling of human
history that takes in ancient Greek concepts of mythos and logos, the uncanny
wisdom of witches and the renaissance rejection of superstition, she is painfully
aware that our collective energies are dangerously unbalanced
Harmony can only be restored through the reunification of the sacred
feminine with the sacred masculine. The ritual required to enact this spiritual
reckoning demands physical contortions, symbolic acts, and the audience’s total
commitment to co-creating a new reality. Everything we do has meaning – if you
know how to read the signs.
Powerful Women Are About is ultra-conscious comedy by an award-winning, internationally-touring, terribly present clown. Come as you are. Leave transformed.
This is Lucy Hopkins’ second solo show. Her debut show Le Foulard (The Veil) won Best Theatre Performer Adelaide Fringe 2013, Prague Fringe Creative Award and Bedfringe Pick of the Fest culminating in a run at Soho Theatre.
Lucy performs with and directs companies and artists across Europe including:
Spymonkey (UK), Caroline Horton (UK), Compagnie Interface (Switzerland), Entre
Escombros (Spain), Babakas (UK). She is also known as Aunty Val in Spencer
Jones’s Christmas short (Sky TV) and Charlie Chuck’s assistant Mary.
Lucy is performing Powerful Women Are About as part of Heroes of Fringe. Heroes of
Fringe champions creativity and financially sustainable practice for artists, and pioneered the Pay What You Want model at the Edinburgh Fringe. For more information on the Heroes Manifesto and their 66 show line up for 2017 go to: www.heroesoffringe.com
