REJOICING AT HER WONDROUS VULVA THE YOUNG WOMAN APPLAUDED HERSELF Comes to London's Ovalhouse
by Stephi Wild - Apr 2, 2019

Combining intimate stories, comic dialogues, and - when words feel like a cage - dance, Rejoicing At Her Wondrous Vulva The Young Woman Applauded Herself is a celebratory exploration of female sexuality, taking audiences on a journey of self-discovery through pleasure, shame, pride, fury and jubilation. Male gaze may have influenced how we see ourselves and how we engage with sexuality, but what even IS the female gaze? Bella Heesom's personal journey through how she got to think and behave the way she did, and then turned around and questioned it all, is played out as a tug of war between brain and clitoris; the intellectual vs the sensual, in a celebration of what it means to be the proud owner of a vulva.
