WILD WOMAN is a play about returning to the roots of the divine feminine, following the female cycle, and living in harmony with the phases of the moon. Through various archetypes of women, as well as religious and mythological female figures like Lilith and Medusa, the show explores the strong minded and empowered female spirit. The show tells a story of discovering how to break free from societal structures and how to to stand in ones power while facing historical and ongoing violations.
Audiences review
“Watching Julia perform her play was such a surreal experience. She has such gift of captivating an audience just on her own. Truly just in awe of how she can embody and honour all the iconic dark feminine archetypes, reflect on the interaction between the moon and our menstruation cycles, and relay such a powerful message of rejecting the patriarchy with absolutely incredible acting. AND SPRINKLE HUMOUR IN, HELLO?!
