The WonderWombs

“Dazzling talent with true, and utterly genuine meaning… The WonderWombs is a slippery and devilish performance.” Auran Abraham, The Creative Issue

“[The WonderWombs] is a sparkling, juicy, feminist manifesto that laughs and mocks and brawls and riots all the way to the finish line.” Nadia Jade, Nothing Ever Happened in Brisbane.

“Femininity in all its forms – muscle toned and strong – is the star attraction here. In a series of cheeky, irreverent sketches, these women show a multiple set of performance skills – from acting and comedy to the circus acrobatics they are known for. The show is playful and sexy, risqué with a solid wink.” Beth Keehn, Stage Whispers

“The key is that these New Zealand performers, as incredibly adept they are at pushing the limits of aerial routines, are not afraid to keep it real. And some of the topics they tackle here often feel painfully, intimately honest. They make themselves vulnerable, but at the same time, with their honed limbs and washboard core muscles, they're literal models of female power, as well as body and sex-positivity--an apt kickoff to the Cultch's winter Femme Series.” — Janet Smith, The Georgia Straight

It is a sex-positive, body-positive, irreverent romp that rejoyces in the reclaimation of our bodies and stories by and for ourselves. Laced with pathos but doused in humor, this uplifting and powerful performance piece will take any stage by storm.

The WonderWombs was born from a desire to undercut the age old Strongman circus trope, where women are used as objects to highlight the physical power of the men.

No longer content to be reduced to an accessory, the cast of The WonderWombs fiercely claims the stage for themselves - telling their own stories and showcasing their own incredible strengths.

This fully devised all-wombs-bearing circus theatre show revels in the glory and smut of post-modern feminism.
