TITCLOWN: daddy's little girl at Summerhall's Red Lecture Theatre

Performer Jessica Aszkenasy returns to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe as her clown persona TITCLOWN with a new hour of clowning about desire, disappointment and the politics of being loved. At the centre of the show is Daddy, a faceless dummy in a suit, who becomes the focus of a performance unpicking power, romance, femininity and emotional bargains women are asked to make. Through voice notes, video, silent-film projections, costume changes, an exercise bike and total commitment to the bit, TITCLOWN turns personal frustration into anarchic theatrical comedy. Directed by Cecily Nash, the show explores how the personal and political collide, from dating culture and gender roles to the wider systems of power that shape how women are seen, wanted and dismissed.
