Follow the scandalous true story of a Suffragette-turned-Fascist through a time travelling cabaret.
WHAT is it?
VENUS 2.0 is a dance theatre spectacle from IMPERMANENCE exploring the chaos and contradictions of the early 20th century.
Five performers take you on an absurd and chilling ride through the evolution of Fascism. Enter a world of explosive physicality, razor-sharp wit and an obsession with the future.
Why did it start? How does it stop? Where does it end?
Award winning company IMPERMANENCE create genre-bending, ground-breaking productions, touring nationally and internationally to critical acclaim.
