A girl should be two things: who and what she wants. Coco Chanel
Don’t miss “dance goddess” Antonia Grove in this virtuosic display of disguise and derangement specially created by Wendy Houstoun - one of the most original artists of her generation, with an international reputation for solo work.
In Houstoun’s first ever such creation for another performer, Small Talk is a screen test for a B movie actress. In a series of edgy, sexy and unpredictable transformations, stand-up singing, sit down talking, monosyllabic dancing and fast talking movement come together as Antonia Grove embraces the chameleon’s desire to be all things to all people.
