Shuttlecock

On the verge of “the change,” Shuttlecock is a labour (ha!) of love about reproductive health and choice, aging, sexuality, bodily autonomy, coming out and of age later-in-life. An interactive show, it tackles real-life topics through play and storytelling in absurdist, clownesque ways. Written, directed and performed by Melissa G.
