Blushing

Blushing

Presented by Zen Zen Zo Physical Theatre

A CHARGE OF CELLS. A RUSH OF HEAT. SKIN AGAINST SKIN. 

Blushing is a bold new physical theatre work investigating touch in all it's shapes and forms. Enter the microscopic world of the Cells writhing beneath your skin, dissecting the intricacies of physical intimacy across our lives. At a time when distance is the norm, and touch an almost radical act in a post-pandemic world, Blushing examines our internal dance between shame and curiosity. From a cast of 8 incredible Brisbane performers, witness your bodies’ evolving relationship to touch as we grow and navigate the complexities of physical contact. 

In bold colour and high-energy movement, Blushing invites us to a world that celebrates skin on skin. 

Dive deep into the Blushing world with our Blushing Movement & Devising Workshop accompanying the show.
