Women are frequently told they are too emotional - too hysterical - to be taken seriously, to be leaders of countries and companies, to be believed when pointing to their own hurt. Hysterical challenges these myths with poetry that confronts body politics, systemic sexism, and weeping uncontrollably in the supermarket.
Carrie Rudzinski and Olivia Hall intertwines social issues and personal stories to create a performance that is both confronting and accessible, powerful and needed.Fierce, feminist, and fulfilling, Hysterical celebrates the multitudes of women and will leave you feeling empowered and alive.
"It’s a deeply raw, vulnerable show. In places the poets are near tears, fury and hurt near the surface. But Hall and Rudzinski are also very funny (because, newsflash, women are hilarious). They flick through sarcasm, wit, absurdity, asking us to eye-roll our way through the dumpster fire with them." - Flat City Field Notes.
"At its core, this is a show about love – the love Rudzinski and Hall feel for others, the love others feel for them, the love they sometimes struggle to show themselves and, most of all, the love they feel for each other." - Erin O'Flaherty
