About this event

A 'mesmerising one-creature spectacle'

Introducing Gobbess – a mesmerising one-creature spectacle that defies the ordinary. She doesn’t aspire to be a Goddess, she wants to be a Gobbess, and her tale is one you won’t want to miss. Prepare to be enchanted by a kaleidoscopic fusion of circus, spoken word, and storytelling. This show weaves a narrative of seeking both lightness and depth amid curiosity, creativity and cat-calling, blending circus skills with powerful spoken word to tell a story of rage, resilience, and transformation. Visually stunning, Gobbess seamlessly transitions from commanding on-stage performances to poetic storytelling, all while performing aerial dance on a suspended hoop. It’s a captivating experience that promises to leave you spellbound and uplifted.

Gobbess is a hilarious and heart-warming kaleidoscopic one-creature spoken word show. It’s a story about creativity and identity, of queerness and self-expression and one person’s rage and resilience, amongst existential curiosity, mental chaos and cat-calling.
