SANITISE to Play Tron Theatre, 12-14 Feb

Melanie Jordan and Caitlin Skinner present Sanitise on 12-14 FEBRUARY 2015, 8PM at Tron Theatre.

A woman alone in her bathroom - what does it mean to be clean and what does it mean to be dirty?

Set in the most private of places, where dirt can be flushed away in an instant, Sanitise is a theatrical journey through the fantasy world of one woman alone in her bathroom. Combining physical theatre, dance, music and illustration, Sanitise is a quirky, imaginative production without words, following one woman's quest for domestic and sexual liberation. Disgusted by much of the outside world, her bathroom has become a sanctuary of cleanliness and an unlikely venue for self-expression. But there is something dark living beneath the bath and as her inner and outer life is revealed, we discover a woman torn between fantasy and fear as she negotiates her relationship with literal and figurative filth.

The audience are invited into a familiar space that quickly reveals itself to be more than your usual bathroom, brought to unexpected life by the characterful animations of AV Designer Calum MacAskill and Illustrator Lubin Lone, and an evocative soundtrack of original music (and the occasional iconic pop song) by Danny Krass (White, The Artist Man Mother Women, Quiz Show).

The Fringe First winning show was created by Edinburgh based artists, director Caitlin Skinner (Artistic Director of Village Pub Theatre: Best of the Village Pub Theatre, Tweet Plays, Associate Artist with Strange Theatre: Goddess, Mother a la Carte) and performer Melanie Jordan (Associate Artist with Plutot La Vie, TORN, Clown Cabaret) to ask questions about the way in which we sanitise sex and sexuality in our culture in order to make it acceptable and sellable.
