Must - The Inside Story

For Sale
- By presented by Peggy Shaw in collaboration with the Clod Ensemble, Produced by Fuel
- Presented at Central Library (now closed)
In collaboration with the celebrated Clod Ensemble, legendary New York performance artist Peggy Shaw returns to Queer Up North to take Manchester audiences on a journey across the landscape of her own body.
Renowned for her own gender-bending autobiographical work, she recounts her extraordinary experiences of the medical profession from her current perspective as a 65-year-old lesbian grandmother.
MUST weaves together the stories of a lifetime – giving birth on the way to Woodstock, her mother’s electric shock treatment in 1950s America, the loss of a loved one – with projected microscopic images, and live musicians performing a powerful score for piano, double bass and violin.
