If You Let Me Speak

Running Time55 minutes
Presented ByNehmila

Love, sex and death – inside one woman's head. This darkly funny solo show follows a middle-aged woman who doesn't quite fit, arguing with her own unconscious about how to live. As libido and mortality interrupt her thoughts, she uses sharp humour to open a playful and revealing exploration of identity, desire and grief. Blending text, movement and flamenco-inspired dance, the piece shifts from comedy into a more physical and poetic space. Intimate, bold and unfiltered, it invites audiences into the inner voices we carry but rarely dare to speak aloud.
