keep sleeping, beauty

Sedated women are everywhere. In fairytales, in art, in bars and nightclubs, in psych wards, in chat rooms, in porn — it seems society loves to see a woman who’s out of it.

Psycho-siren Leah Shelton, Director Ursula Martinez and the killer team behind smash hit BATSHIT bring their signature blend of theatricality, dark humour and high-camp performance art to explore how the fairytale dreams of yesteryear have become the nightmare reality of today.

The performance invites you into a world of surreal imagery and razor-sharp commentary, where glitter meets grit and beauty is both weapon and shield. Expect bold visuals, biting wit, and an experience that lingers long after the curtain falls.

As one reviewer wrote:

“Simply magnificent … don’t think I’ve ever seen an audience so totally gobsmacked.”
