THE RAMBLING FEMINIST Returns to Australia

By:
A white woman walks out into the world with her backpack and her feminist ideology. Crossing borders and camping without permission, she wears what she wants, not what's expected...sometimes, when it feels safe. From the shores of Lake Atitlan, Guatemala, along the waterways of England, France, Germany, and the Balkans, and to Chios, the Greek island so close to Turkey you can almost touch it, she explores what it means to be free as the rising tide of nationalism swells and waves of refugees wash over the land.

Newly single, a woman known only as "The Rambling Feminist," returns to Australia seeking a new path through life and the reformation of her broken heart. Inside the tent she calls home, she riffles through time, space, and her dirty backpack to find and examine the fractured pieces of her life and the bloody bones of war she's carried home from an odyssey around the globe.

As she journeys through memory and across borders that build nations and define bodies, she looks through the kaleidoscope of history seeking to understand the patterns that form who we are, how we got here and how we try and fail to love.

The Rambling Feminist is a one woman show written, directed and performed by newcomer Shona Anderson. Pulling together threads of monologue, poetry, dance and song, The Rambling Feminist weaves a cosmic theatrical fabric that is at turns hopeful, sarcastic, complicated, tragic and bright with childlike wonder. Ramble with her. Book tickets now.
