Why can't we be like the women who have it all figured out? Why is female friendship so complicated? And why does chasing external validation always leave us empty? 

In this sharp, funny, and deeply authentic blend of storytelling and stand-up, Gina Barton lays bare the invisible forces shaping women's lives. Through vivid vignettes, she unpacks the weight of social conditioning – and the messy, often hilarious journey of unlearning it. 

The "her" in the title? She's the friend you shrink yourself for, the colleague who disrupts your carefully built world, and the shadow self you're desperate to leave behind. 

Witty, raw, and unflinchingly honest – this is a show for anyone who's ever questioned the roles they've been assigned.

“I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad. 

The dreams of which I’m dying are the best I ever had.”  

After a painful breakup, the lines between love, loss, and truth begin to blur. How can you be sure of what really happened — and what was only in your mind?

Animals were – and will always be – a central element of the human world. We may completely ignore, or choose to ignore, the vast majority of them but those with which we interact, are of enormous importance. We share our life with them, they are our mortal companions.  

In our devised show, Does it Bite? we try to talk about their rights, blurring the boundaries between art and life, with animals always at the foreground. We make an attempt to explore their place in a socially aware art. We move the animal from a victim/object position to an active subject. 

Our narrative is not linear. The story is not one, but many – imperfect ones. 

We do not aim to give definitive answers. The images are fragmentary: Leashes we don't know what they have attached to their other end – animal or human? Cages that capture…who? Rhythmic rituals. Animal tracks everywhere. Their imminent disappearance and what it would mean for all of us.
