The hit of the 2009 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Nic Green’s Trilogy, which attracted critical attention in part for a joyous naked dance performed by female, Edinburgh-based volunteers, comes to BAC and the Barbican this January. The show, originally co-produced by Glasgow-based multi-arts venue The Arches and BAC, played to sell-out audiences at The Arches at St Stephens in Edinburgh and won the Arches Award for Stage Directors 2009 and a Herald Angel award.
Trilogy is a celebratory venture into modern-day feminism and examines and interrogates the joys and complexities of being a woman today whilst driving steadfast into the future with commitment and hope. Through narrative, debate, dance and song the triptych challenges prevailing attitudes and prejudices. It begins by exploring women’s relationships to their bodies, then reconstructs the infamous 1971 New York Town Bloody Hall debate before concluding with a joyous paean to womankind. Green and her dedicated company deliver an evening of raw energy designed to challenge and inspire.
