unTaPped ‘25: DOUBLE BILL - The Desperate (miss)Guide to be a Feminist + The Art of Manipulation

Fri 16 May 2025 and Sat 17 May 2025

The Desperate (miss)Guide to be a Feminist
By Hit or Miss

We made mistakes. We made a lot of mistakes. But we meant well. ‘The Desperate (miss)Guide to be a Feminist’ is a comedic exploration of trend culture surrounding modern feminism. Blending clowning, music and corporeal mime. Prepare to watch our characters explore their boundaries through a series of misguided attempts as we desperately try to figure out what it means to be a feminist and the chaos of competitive romance.

 

The Art of Manipulation
By Two Halves

You are being controlled. Two halves (of a whole idiot) bring to you The Art of Manipulation, an exploration into power and influence. Do you feel like you have power over your life? The decisions you make? This is a journey which brings two clowns face to face with each other, confronting the world around them. Relax… obey… enjoy the show. After all, if everyone’s laughing, nothing’s wrong. Right?
