Show Description

Join our fearless showgirl “FooFooLaBelle” and her madcap maestro on a fantastical (and true!) journey through her life. Together they expose the secrets of a globetrotting showgirl. Encounter ballet dancers, circus elephants, performing sharks, pantomime cats, on their inspirational quest for stardom. The pair journey through time, starting with the turbulent 70’s in Cold War Britain, bursting through the iconic 80’s battling beasts with power ballads and sparkly wigs. Our hero finally finds a home in Wales and discovers a stage that makes complete sense. Like fine wine, or smelly cheese, some things only get better with age.

Dyckhoff and Gawne is a promising new partnership between creators and performers, Jenna Dyckhoff and Stephanie Gawne. This unique, intergenerational paring, was first brought together at the Wales Millennium Centre in Duncan Hallis's ‘The First XXXMas: A Very Naughtytivity’ where their combined neurodivergence erupted into an eclectic, chaotic, theatre-making duo!
