FLAPS Retouched

Overview

After a sell-out 2016 season and a gong for Most Innovative Set at the Auckland Theatre Awards, FLAPS is back.

The production by Bits and Pieces Ensemble was birthed from a desire to find more space for women in theatre and a need to collaborate with as many female creative artists as possible. From a whopping 90+ applicants, seven women were cast to take the stage in FLAPS, an immersive, vignette-style of theatre that celebrates and explores what it's like to have a vagina. In an interview with RadioLive, FLAPS co-creator Brie Hill described the comedy as both "raw and gross". Think: embarrassing confessions, personal experiences, and topics often thought of as taboo: menstruation, pubic hair, body image.

The new and improved Retouched version offers both preloved and brand-spanking new ways to poke and feel your way around the unashamedly vagina-laden experience.
