About the show:
K.I.S.S. (Women in Socks and Sandals) is described as an exuberant journey into the identity of the modern woman!
In K.I.S.S., the successful performance M.I.S. (Men in sandals) - All Night Long is challenged by a female ensemble. With director Kamilla Wargo in collaboration with Don Gnu has set out to explore what it means to be a woman today. Away with stereotypical perceptions and prejudices - here we know that the modern woman is complex, nuanced and full of surprises.
Inspired by the feminine ideals of the past and today's empowerment movement, K.I.S.S. delves into the inner strength, vulnerability and will that characterize the modern woman. Raised in a world with strong role moders, popular culture and 90s "girl power" - under the layers of expectations, social norms and female life roles, who is the woman really?
This show is filled with twisted stunts, both physical and mental, as the three women step out of their comfort zones to take on everything from the "superwoman" syndrome and the idea of the perfect mother, to the inner critic and societal pressure.
K.I.S.S. is described as a party for anyone who wants to celebrate the human right to be themselves - real, unadulterated and powerful in their imperfections - all night long!
