Feminine

A show entirely dedicated to women’s voices

Voila Festival

Devised by the company


Unheard contemporary French authors

Feminine (Adj, f ) [feminε̃, in]: relating to woman, women / that looks like a woman.

Since 2006, Exchange Theatre has produced major unknown French plays in their first English version. After a two years creative residency at the French Institute, exploring bilingualism on stage, and a double production in both French and English of Un air de famille, the company goes back to its mother tongue to experiment with untranslated monologues for an all female ensemble. A show in their original language for the first time in the UK. Unheard contemporary French authors are presented to a French-speaking London audience. Xavier Durringer, Virginie Despentes, and Laurent Gaude feature in the new creation by Exchange Theatre.
