LABYRINTH

Another chance to see the exhilarating physical theatre production, Labyrinth, performed by Portuguese actress Marta Carvalho. Audiences were blown away by the power and passion of this monologue when it was first performed at an LLL event in 2019: "A fantastic performance – a tour de force..." / "Immersive, bold, challenging" / "This is an extraordinary, insightful 45 minutes …" / “... a deep understanding of the feminine psyche. A truly wonderful journey ...” / "A very powerful poetic piece. A combination of very few elements worked to perfection. Timeless, tender, deep …”
