About Nehmila
If You Let Me Speak is a solo show by Nehmila, performed at Sprout Studio at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The show follows a middle-aged woman who doesn't quite fit, arguing with her own unconscious about how to live. As libido and mortality interrupt her thoughts, she uses sharp humour to open a playful and revealing exploration of identity, desire and grief. Blending text, movement and flamenco-inspired dance, the piece shifts from comedy into a more physical and poetic space. Intimate, bold and unfiltered, it invites audiences into the inner voices we carry but rarely dare to speak aloud. The show runs for 55 minutes and is suitable for audiences aged 16 and over.
Why see this show?
A darkly funny and physically daring solo show that refuses to tidy up the messy inner life of a woman in midlife — flamenco-inflected movement and sharp wit make for an unexpectedly moving hour.
