Local audiences are in for a raucous, rebellious, and radically-inclusive experience that is the sensational Church of the Clitori, an uplifting, song-filled, body-positive theatrical celebration of the Holy Clit. This show turns worship on its head in the most unexpected and joyous way.
Straight off the back of filled-to-bursting performances at Woodfordia and multiple five-star reviews from fringe performances, the High Priestess and Labias will lead you to a path of salvation – via the clits that we have, love, desire, or came from.
The Church of the Clitori, has been created and performed by award-winning artists Lillian Rodrigues–Pang and Malika Elizabeth Reese. The Church of the Clitori invites audiences to worship at the altar of pleasure, knowledge, and self-love. Think Sex and the City meets The Book of Mormon, with a healthy dose of scientific curiosity and clitoral celebration. Everyone can learn a thing or three.
Bringing in the local excellence for these two shows are Mutton – the fearless duo of Gabrielle Griffin and Simone O’Brien – with their post-menopausal, pre-apocalyptic, feminist punk cabaret.
At a time when society continues to sideline women over 50, The Church of the Clitori is an irreverent and deeply empowering exploration of feminine power that preaches self love and inclusivity, while Mutton smashes stereotypes with humour, grit, and a whole lot of punk-rock attitude.
In a world-first for cabaret, Mutton has embedded two Auslan interpreters into their Saturday performance, ensuring deaf audiences experience every joke, song, and moment in real time. This fully immersive accessibility initiative, funded by CreateNSW, pushes the boundaries of inclusive performance and sets a new standard for live theatre.
Between Church of the Clitori’s irreverent comedic ritual, body positivity, joyful inclusive audience interaction and Mutton’s unapologetic, queer feminist cabaret, these shows promise to be more than just entertainment they are an invitation to rethink, reimagine, and revel in the power of women’s voices, bodies, and stories.
This double bill is a must-see, to celebrate Valentine’s Day differently.
