AQUARIUS RISING to Make Edinburgh Fringe Debut With London Preview
Ben Fallaci's solo show will play Rosemary Branch Theatre before heading to Greenside at Riddles Court.
The world is ending. Perfect time to figure out all your relationship problems. For one night only, writer/performer Ben Fallaci performs his original solo show before it debuts at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
Inspired by a real life boiling hot meltdown and a combustive breakup, Fallaci was forced to reckon with an external world that didn't reflect his inside hopes and dreams. But how do you start to change your entire life when it feels like the world is ending?
Aquarius Rising is an hour-long fever dream that navigates climate collapse, toxic codependency, and working for a boss from the pits of hell. When you don't like the reflection in the rear view mirror, life's gotta change. Join comedian turned monologist Ben Fallaci as he drives through the hard decisions that only an apocalypse can force you into making. Aquarius Rising is a fantastically funny play about overcoming flaws and fears to get back on track and reach your divine destination. Sometimes all it takes is shifting gears.
Performances will take place at the Rosemary Branch Theatre, London, 17 July 19:30 and Pickle Studio at Greenside at Riddles Court, 7-29 August 21:50.
