A joyous, funny and honest show for International Women’s Day
Two Destination Language presents Katherina Radeva in 40/40 at Cambridge Junction on Wednesday 6th and Thursday 7th March
40/40 is an inspiring, insightful, and moving celebration of Katherina Radeva’s 40 years as a woman, a migrant and an artist.
Claiming space on a dance floor for one, she writes stories of her past, present and future, in speech, in electrical tape and in movement.
From the little girl dancing at her parents’ student parties, to the teenage rhythm gymnast who was body-shamed, to the creative who refuses to be categorised we see a choreography of all the joys and sorrows of 40 years. Radeva is an irresistible performer whose authenticity and generosity shines in this life-affirming piece.
Supported by three brilliant female choreographers – Liz Aggiss, Lucy Suggate and Rachel Krische, Katherina’s 40/40 is the result of 40 years of joy, migrancy and hardship, laughter and tears, super tunes and super moves. Join the middle-aged woman revolution by dancing, claiming and reclaiming the beautiful, glorious and messy complexities of womanhood.
Content warning: nudity, heavy breathing, middle aged woman dancing with much joy.
Laura Matthews, Marketing & Communications Officer at Cambridge Junction said:
“40/40 is a show that’s guaranteed to make you smile from the off. You’ll find it hard to stay in your seat and not join in with the dancing! It’s funny, honest, and joyful. If you enjoy kitchen discos, 80s music, and real-life story telling this is not to be missed.”
★★★★ The Guardian “an exercise in generosity of spirit” Lyndsey Winship
★★★★ The Scotsman “all about forward motion, about moving on and up, about embracing life” Kelly Apter
“You must see 40/40 by Two Destination Language – without doubt the most alive, in the moment and reflective show I have seen over the last 10 days. A piece which understands that context is all” Lyn Gardner, critic
