What's On in Hobart This Month: Festivals, Arts & Culture
Body Body Commodity at The Theatre Royal
Five female contemporary dancers will take the stage for a breathtaking and visceral display of feminity during the Body Body Commodity performance. Exploring the confronting and harrowing topics of women's bodies and expectations in today's society where the line is blurred between body and object, this is theatre that angers, inspires and amazes.
Less than 10 creatives bring this show to life, yet the presence, powerful message and awe will stay with you long after the curtain closes.
