Raina Greifer presents a funny and brutal look at consent, filled with poetry, puppets, and PowerPoint presentations! Expect feminist philosophy, poetry, bathroom sex, cheese strings, Michael Cera, balloons, desperation, laughter, cringe, saxophones and a lot of hope for a better sex life
When Raina arrives at her spoken word gig to see her exes in the audience, all the questions she’s had about her past sexual experiences begin to surface. Through poetry, comedy, and one very awkward encounter with a cheese string, she begins to explore questions about bad sex, drunk sex, and the grey areas of consent.
Sometimes hilarious, sometimes heart-breaking, MANIC is a solo show that combines spoken word, puppetry, and theatre to ask whether it is possible to say you were violated without implicating a partner.
