Two women laughing together while crouched on the ground. The one on the left is clapping and the one on the right holds a rope that drapes around the back of her shoulders.
Two women bound together by a rope, they are leaning pushing away from each other, but one has her hand extended out to the other as well.

Ventre

• Performance art
South Australia • World Premiere

Two award-winning artists have created this powerhouse performance. It's a thought provoking and uplifting piece is guaranteed to leave an impact! 

Ventre (womb): a dark place that holds secrets, desires and life itself. This is a place to visit but not one to remain forever. Deep within live two different women bound to each other and their environment. They must grow and evolve by processing their own conflicts: to be born, they must break their ties and rid themselves of what holds them back.

A powerful performance of dance and spoken word, 'Ventre' combines the power of African and Brazilian movement with modern storytelling to explore the dilemma of the modern woman. Many stories about the womb are universal, yet often these stories are taboo and endowed with shame.
