The Pope, old eggs and broken teacups – a theatrical feminist riot

 

Two women face the truth of the dissolution of the European egalitarian dream.

Everywhere they look things are not equal; in the taxi at the end of the night, on the bench in the middle of a village, in the congregation, in the boardroom, in the home. They tell stories of abortion, sing about violence and dance about menopause. They remember the lies they were told as children and question the hope that things might be different for future generations. The performance uses puppetry, comedy, song, text and movement to create a hybrid, humorous and powerful perspective on being a woman in Europe today.

‘For it was Adam who was first created, and then Eve’ Timothy 2:1

„Thank you for this lightning storm of hope in dark times…

On evenings like this I gain confidence in the magic of theatre as a dignified phenomenon.“ Christoff Bleidt – Theaterhaus Berlin

Performed in English, Polish & Spanish with English subtitles.

Artists/Collaborators: Ensemble, Eva Rufo, Rachel Karafistan, Jo Johnston, Kaja Banaszak, Kuba Pierzchalski

Cosmino Productions have been dreaming theatrical experiences into reality for over 25 years. We believe firmly in the ability of the arts to cross boundaries, dream new futures and provoke positive change in the world. Cosmino Productions was founded in 1998 in the UK and since 2010 has been based in Berlin, Germany.

Cosmino have created over 15 productions including performances with collaborators including the State Theatre of Salzburg and Greenwich Theatre, London. Productions currently on tour include Rachel’s award-winning solo performance Dreams Die Hard inspired by her grandmother’s wartime diary and her Turkish-Cypriot roots and Paulas Reisen, a physical performance featuring clowning and puppetry, dealing gently with issues of exclusion and integration, based on the children’s book by German author Paul Maar. Heartburnis our ambitious new project exploring the rights of women. We are delighted to be working with Spanish performer, Eva Rufo and British visual artist, Jo Johnston. Heartburn premiered in January 2022 and is currently touring internationally.
