Private View

This January, prepare to be plunged into the funny, filthy and grotesquely honest world of the twenty-something female with Plunge Theatre at Theatre Delicatessen.

Fusing dance, verbatim text and a vast amount of chocolate cake, Private View is the stark, combined account of three young women trying to work out - quite frankly - what the hell is going on.

Part love-song, part hate-mail, Izabella Malewska, Tutku Barbaros and Lilly Pollard confront the addictive and futile pursuit for female perfection. From the f-word to selfies to panic googling acne cures, this performance piece gazes both inwards and outwards as three twenty-something friends attempt to beat their personal demons in a search to find their true selves.

Stripping both literally and figuratively, the show interrogates our enigmatic relationship with body image by drawing from personal experience as well as wider cultural phenomenon: Can I lose 2 stone in a week? Is that a stretch mark? Are my friends more successful than me? Am I the fat one? Are my nipples weird? Will people stop listening if I say I am feminist?

This intriguing and comic show - running for 3 weeks only - is not pretending to be the solution to the ruthless ideals that society forces on women, nor is it promising to offer clarity on how to navigate modern femininity.

It's just three girls inviting you to join their attempt to discover what being a woman in 2015 means to them: digging deeply through a surmounting pile of wax strips, celery smoothies and Beyoncé CDs on the way.
