Britain's What's On Event Guide
Show Pony
Do you know what happens to acrobats when they hit middle age Neither do still hungry, but they’re going to use every trick they have to try and figure it out.
Show Pony is the new autobiographical piece by Berlin-based circus company still hungry, in collaboration with British performance maker Bryony Kimmings.
A candid look at a life on stage and the painful moment when the stage no longer wants you, Show Pony brings past, present and an imagined future together as three women try to decide how they can go on, or if they should go on at all.
Packed full of love, laughter and lunacy, Show Pony by still hungry is a joyful scream into the face of the patriarchy that challenges us to question our prejudices towards age and femininity, on stage and off.
Show Pony blends text based storytelling with circus disciplines including straps, vertical rope, contortion and object manipulation. What initially appears to be a look behind the scenes of the circus industry transforms into open-heart surgery, a brutally honest confrontation with childhood conditioning, growing older and the importance of friendship.
Show Pony follows still hungry and Bryony Kimmings 2019 award winning hit, “Raven”, which toured throughout Germany and internationally, including an 11 venue season in Canada.
