About Ben Fallaci
Aquarius Rising is a darkly hilarious solo theatre show written and performed by Ben Fallaci. Stuck in a codependent and toxic relationship, Aries drives blindly down a boulevard of broken dreams, his life a storm of dysfunction. The show explores the idea of detaching with love in order to save yourself — that survival sometimes means letting things die. This is Ben Fallaci's second Edinburgh Fringe, following his debut solo show. The show runs for 60 minutes at Pickle Studio and is suitable for audiences aged 16 and over.
Why see this show?
