Written and performed by Dawn Albinger
Dramaturgy by Margaret Cameron
Video art by Sam James


Using her signature tragi-comic style, Dawn Albinger deploys fragmented narrative, highly poetic text and humour to deconstruct Western notions of “romance”, “femininity”, “desire” and “love” in an intimate solo performance.

No Door On Her Mouth is a lyrical amputation that invokes choking divas, handless maidens and flightless women, celebrating the juiciness of the mature female imaginary and getting to the heart of the matter in ways that are at once inspired and awkwardly (in)articulate

For those seeking a more complex consideration of the all-too-familiar experience of “falling in love”, Albinger dares to explore the spaces between love and resistance, thought and agency, voice and breath.

The piece is a philosophical answer and performative response to Irigaray’s question of how to say “I love you” without it meaning “I wonder if I am loved”.
