Description

Steady yourself to rethink desire, and then watch Louise Orwin smash it all to pieces. Oh Yes Oh No invites you on a surreal joyride through femme sexuality and violence. Made with the candid input of survivors of sexual trauma, this is a show about having sexual fantasies that dont align with your politics. Join Louise as she interrogates identity, consent and power play. How can you reclaim your voice and your body when they have been stripped from you And how do you navigate a landscape of hyper-sexuality and increasing sex positivity when asking for what you want can be the hardest thing
