Raunch
This multi-disciplinary show incorporates puppetry, clown, video and monologue to explore the rise of sexually-charged raunch culture.

Wet t-shirt contests, Girls Gone Wild, pole dancing: is this the face of "new feminism", a wave of women embracing their sexuality, or is it the rise of Female Chauvinist Pigs?
