Egg by Paper Doll Militia

What does it take to make a baby? An accident, right timing, a drunken night, right people, right parts? But what if you don’t have all the right parts? Or you do, and one of them is broken?

Egg is an original aerial theatre production performed on clear PVC aerial plastic about female fertility, sexuality, and choice. It’s a true story of a woman who gave her eggs to a friend to have a child. Highlighting themes of choice, chance, science, and family.

Egg is a highly physical and visual production performed and written by Sarah Bebe Holmes, with live instrumentation and original composition by Balázs Hermann.

Music laces the show with double bass melodies and electric bass riffs, as well as using unusual instruments created from plastic and balloons to exaggerate the soundscape within the ever-present synthetic nature of the story and the set.
