WAH WAH WAH

Written, Choreographed and Performed by Celia Green

Directed and Dramaturged by Bilal Baig

WAH WAH WAH follows one person’s muddled account of a very specific, yet familiar story. A gaze held too long, being followed down the street, a stranger’s hand on your bare thigh — the layers are peeled back, revealing a tangled inner dialogue surrounding instances of violation. What happens if I love it and hate it at the same time? Did anything even happen? Is anything ever gonna change?

WAH WAH WAH dissects micro-moments of sexual harassment from a queer perspective using storytelling, tantrums, and visceral movement when words aren’t enough.

“Solo performer Celia Green has forged a fresh, inventive take on questions around harassment in the post #MeToo era”
- NOW Magazine

"Green’s sharp physical work is among the most striking aspects of the piece, fully controlled at times and wildly visceral at others. […] There is an understated quality – a pull as opposed to a push force – to Wah Wah Wah that elicits an undivided listen.”
- Montreal Theatre Hub

“Celia Green clearly has the critical analysis and the performative talent to engage and inspire audiences.”
- Mooney on Theatre

The presentation at English Theatre Berlin was made possible with the generous support of the Lindy Green Family Charitable Foundation, Factory Theatre, The Ontario Arts Council, Why Not Theatre, and The SummerWorks Festival.
