Description

I don t understand it. I ve still got muscles, tendons, sinews, whatnots – nothing s changed skeleton wise, body wise. It s still all intact.

Yet it doesn t work. It won t move itself.

Leaping barriers of age, sexuality and gender, Gloria prepares to dance the Can Can one last time.

Written and performed by the pioneering Claire Dowie, When I Fall If I Fall tells Gloria s story, a story about growing up feeling different and not fitting in…

With this new work, Dowie continues her ground-breaking subversion of gender expectations and stereotypes.

This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, in August 2019.
