A bold, cinematic, acrobatic odyssey through the frontiers of mental health, queerness, rage and the 21st Century space race, Laura Murphy presents A Spectacle of Herself – a vulnerable and deeply personal intervention into what it means to take up space, to spill out and be seen…

A Spectacle of Herself will adventure through shape shifting identities and landscapes as we join Laura on a mission to serve herself up [in]appropriately – for your consumption. With layers of autobiography, lip sync, creative captioning, video and aerial performance in Laura’s critical and cheeky signature style.

Experimental and disarmingly honest, this show could redefine what contemporary circus performance means.
