After nine years of sold-out performances, this year’s diverse collective of some of Byron Shire’s powerful, creative women and people with vaginas, will present personal, professional, or political stories to inform, educate, entertain, and support, from Thursday this week in Brunswick Heads.
Funny, sad, challenging, and celebratory, with creator and MC Zenith Virago, the Vagina Conversations is a more contemporary evolution of the Vagina Monologues, bringing a courageous fresh, local flavour to our community.
Vaginas are the most powerful body part on the planet. Giving pleasure, giving life, experiencing pain – desired and exploited every day.
This event is part of the One Billion Rising V-Day global revolution to end violence against women following the Main Beach V-Day protest – the Vagina performers use spoken word, dance, music, song, and comedy, to share their personal, professional, and cultural experiences, to inspire and empower themselves and others.
All proceeds from the shows go to the Mullum Women’s Resource Service Escape Fund and the Tweed DVIRC Impact Fund, supporting local women escaping intimate partner and family violence, financing women in crisis to pay for emergency needs, keeping women and children safe. The shows have already raised over $123,000.
The Vagina Conversations start Thursday and run until Sunday at the Brunswick Picture House in Brunswick Heads. This show is suitable for patrons 14 years and up. Doors open at 6.30pm and the vaginas start at 7pm. Tickets are $45/$35 from brunswickpicturehouse.com.
For four decades The Echo has printed the stories some people loved, some people hated, and some pretended not to read. If you want us to keep telling the truth, the real truth, not the sugar-coated version. We’ll need your support to keep the presses rolling.
