Angela Carter’s The Bloody Chamber comes to Waterside in Sale, Greater Manchester, April 9.
Proteus Theatre has adapted Carter’s collection of short stories—an erotic, heady and feminist re-telling of dark fantasy fairy tales.
The production uses aerial circus, physical theatre, gothic design and a haunting soundscape.
Proteus has worked with leading figures in circus to choreograph the piece including Mimbre’s Silvia Fratelli, Charlotte Mooney from Ockham’s Razor and Tamzen Moulding, artistic director of Inverted Theatre.
