A dark, rich and heady re-telling of some of the most famous folk and fairy tales in western culture, using unique physicality and aerial circus.
What are little girls made of?
They are made of the forest floor, the blood of the moon cycle, the fluttering of wings and the turning of keys. They are made of sweat, howling notes and desire. They are made of night scented stock – heady and sweet, the lily and the rose, the knife and the rope.
They are made of all the tales our Mothers told us.
And all the ones they didn’t dare.
The award winning Proteus present Angela Carter’s The Bloody Chamber - an erotic, heady and feminist re-telling of some of the most famous folk and fairy tales in western culture.
These dark fantasies are performed by an all-female cast using aerial circus, physical theatre, gothic design and a haunting soundscape.
The Bloody Chamber will be opening to audiences at the Pavillion Theatre in Worthing with performances taking place on 11th & 12th June. For more information or to book tickets, visit Worthing Theatres and Museums website.
The Bloody Chamber will be touring to mid-scale theatres and performance spaces in early 2022. To find out more contact our creative producing team at Turtle Key Arts.
It is dinner-time. It is bedtime.

Now you are at the place of annihilation. And she is herself a cave full of echoes, she is a system of repetitions, she is a closed circuit.”
