RACHEAL OFORI: BEAUTY IS THE BEAST
Racheal Ofori: Beauty is the Beast
“Ofori’s stories make us laugh, make us empathise, and make us think about wider issues of religion, shame and sex”
10 — 12 March, Barbican
Yvonne is losing her mind. She walks into Boots looking for shampoo and has a breakdown, paralysed by the overwhelming abundance of bright plastic bottles.
Mina has always kept a trim figure. Her mother's ever-present scales in their family home used to do the trick. But since her mother’s death, she’s finding it harder to keep the weight off. So, she’s ordered some fat jabs online.
"I want to be wafer-thin. So thin that, at some point, I practically disappear. Isn’t that the point? The literal erasure of women?"
Racheal Ofori is a UK Theatre award-nominated writer and performer whose previous work with Fuel includes Portrait, So Many Reasons and FLIP!.
