Salon de la Vie – Yo Her Her and a Bottle of Rum!
6th May 2020 @ 7:30 pm - 7:50 pm
‘What do I lack?’

Salon de la Vie is Scary Little Girls’ contribution to fun and feminism in a time of COVID-19!
Our fortnightly 15 -20 minute extravaganzas of songs, storytelling, merriment and conversation, focus each time on an awe-inspiring, remarkable and brave woman from the world of film, music, literature and history, drawing parallels with the achievements of activists today, to celebrate how people positively embody the change they want to see in the world, for themselves and for others. We’re super proud that each salon has a custom illustration provided by the wonderful Jacky Fleming.
Scary Little Girls is a vibrant, hard-working production hub whose commitment and passion for theatrical and artistic storytelling is borne out by the variety of scary little work we have created and the support we have from our scary little artists and audiences.
Come along every other Wednesday evening to join in with our singing, celebration and joy!
We’d like to thank our amazing funders Arts Council England, Cornwall Council and Feast for supporting this project
