Dangerous Goods

Information

DANGEROUS GOODS is an unapologetic, hot-flash-fuelled cabaret of provocative performances, jaw-dropping physical feats, and powerful acts of rebellion by a diverse crew of femmes and thems. Featuring a world class lineup of circus, aerials, performance art and powerhouse vocals, Polytoxic bring you cabaret for a world on the brink, ready to blow minds and shift paradigms. What is dangerous and who gets to decide? A woman who refuses to be quiet. A body that refuses to be controlled. A culture that refuses to be erased. A planet pushed beyond its limits. Dangerous Goods refuses to separate the personal from the political, or the body from the planet. Bring your audiences a fresh take on adult cabaret - part cabaret, part social activism and a brilliant, entertaining night out. Artshub ★★★★★ Broadway World ★★★★★ Theatre Weekly ★★★★★ Fest Mag ★★★★

Reviews
“Dangerous Goods is more than a cabaret; it's a movement, a celebration of feminism, climate change activism, and a fierce stance against the fetishization of culture and the shackles of patriarchy.” Stage Whispers
