About TeatroE ETS
TeatroE ETS presents Puttana at Red Lecture Theatre, a contemporary and experimental theatre work running for 60 minutes, priced at £10, for audiences aged 18 and over. The piece questions the boundary between body and commodity, between desire and power. In a society that normalises consumption, the buying and selling of bodies follows the same rules as any other market. A single actress gives voice to five characters through music and words to tell an uncomfortable and cruel story. The show contains nudity and strong language.
Why see this show?
A single performer voices five characters in this spare, unflinching piece about commodification and desire. Puttana is the kind of challenging theatre that stays with you — uncomfortable by design and honest about it.
