About Claudia Shnier
Claudia Shnier performs Split Ends, an award-nominated solo theatre piece using physical theatre, puppetry and multi-media to explore control, love and the addiction to people who hurt us. The show follows Claudia, who is consumed by her split ends until she falls in love with a hairy Vacuum that sheds, leaves, reappears, cheats and sheds again. She waits for him to pull the plug on what they have because she cannot. A solo work that is as unsettling as it is intimate.
Why see this show?
A solo show that turns an obsessive relationship into something physical, strange and deeply felt — part puppet show, part confessional. The kind of Fringe theatre that stays with you.
