Roll up, roll up! You are invited to an evening of performance and conversation celebrating the wonderful world of ‘showwomanry’ and the launch of the new book: Obsessions of A Showwoman, The Performance Worlds of Marisa Carnesky.
Delve into the fascinating history of the unconventional and remarkable showwomen – fire walkers, clowns and alligator hypnotists, women who worked for themselves and were often called showgirls, in spite of their extraordinary skill and artistry.
Opening the show is Eirini Kartsaki, followed by a panel discussion with some of the showwomen featured in the book: Marisa Carnesky, Livia Kojo Alour, and Lucifire, in conversation with author Ruth Ivo. The evening concludes with a special performance by Parisian danger artist Lalla Morte.
