Fabulously camp cabaret, comedy & storytelling with a dynamic queer twist.
Nominated for the prestigious MullenLowe NOVA Award at Central Saint Martins, The Little Death is a showstopping blend of cabaret, comedy and thought-provoking storytelling with a dynamic queer twist. Get ready to step inside the fabulously chaotic world of Mina, a spirited young Turkish woman on a wild quest to find the one thing missing in her life: an orgasm.
Amidst all the glitz and glamour, The Little Death delves deep into the heart of what it means to be human. Following Mina’s journey of self-discovery, the show reflects on poignant themes of love, loneliness and the human condition. It is a reminder that, even in the pursuit of pleasure, we all crave connection and understanding. The Little Death is a celebration of resilience, shamelessness and the universal quest for fulfilment.
This psychotic night of glamour, fabulous fun and heartfelt sadness is a camp extravaganza that promises an authentic and heartwarming journey with hysterical misadventures, deep introspection, and jaw-dropping revelations about life, love and identity. Sharing the story of Mina’s inability to orgasm with a partner, this is a visceral and honest reflection on female pleasure, sexual liberation and the vulnerabilities of being a woman.
Co-Director Mina Orak comments, 'Growing up between two cultures is not always easy. While it's certainly a privilege, it often leaves you caught between two different ways of thinking. The Little Death was born from my internal conflict between the desire to express myself without a filter and the innate human need for acceptance'.
