A music-led performance exploring strength through fantasy, fitness, and personal testimony.
Two confrontation-avoidant performers set out to redefine strength by stepping into the fantasy worlds of 1990s television, medieval combat, and gym culture. Through a loose narrative structure, the piece follows their attempt to build physical and emotional power by pumping iron, wearing armour, and learning how to fight, while questioning what strength actually means.
Written and performed by She Goat, the duo of Shamira Turner and Eugénie Pastor, the production blends new writing with live music and documentary-style material. Their work centres the body as both subject and instrument, using performance to examine cultural ideas of power, softness, and self-definition.
