Sirens

Ontroerend Goed, Vooruit, Theatre Royal Plymouth & Richard Jordan Productions Ltd present Sirens, with support of the Flemish Community, Province of East-Flanders and the City of Ghent.

Sirens, a feminist manifesto for the 21st century.

Sirens is written – and performed – by six young women, members of the internationally renowned Belgian company, Ontroerend Goed.

It is their heartfelt, yet irreverent, feminist manifesto for the 21st century.

They describe a new journey of contemporary femininity: their expectations, persisting inequalities, hard-fought rights, self-censorship and everyday abuse.

Cooperating like a musical sextet, they scream, laugh, sing, speak and cry their way through their experiences as women in the modern Western world, with new-found joys and liberties. They’ve taken control of their lives, expression and appearance and moved on, past militant anti-male rage to the hope that men can be just as feminist as they are.

Sirens – six young women, both alluring and alarming. The stage is theirs.

This Theatre Royal Plymouth co-production with dynamic and innovative Belgian theatre company, Ontroerend Goed, follows our previous joint success with Fight Night, All That is Wrong, Audience, A History of Everything, Teenage Riot and Under the Influence.

Recommended for audiences aged 18+. Contains very strong sexual imagery and language.

Running Time: 1hr 20mins
