Patisserie Femme

Patisserie Femme is a delicious satire based in a Cape Town bakery. The performers “zip” in and out of character whilst exploring the bakery dedicated to selling not pastries or cakes, but women (and cookies). The audience witnesses tense employee interactions, but some funny and heart wrenching confessions by key pantry ingredients too - namely Cherry on Top & Yeastica/Yeastiesha. Whilst being comedic, Patisserie Femme also tackles issues of societal conventions related to women’s bodies.

This play is performed in the style of physical theatre - it is just two bodies on stage, allowing the audience to lean into their creativity as they imagine their own Patisserie Femme
world.
