About WOMB PARTY
Humour disarms difficult topics, it creates space for curiosity, compassion, self disclosure and healing. Womb Party achieves that and more.

Fanny and Gina, your Womb Hosts with the most, invite you to a WOMB PARTY. Expect dance, games, interruptions and real-life stories in a vibrant celebration of bodily autonomy and the power of choice. Every-body welcome!
Re-enter the womb this April and go on a journey with Fanny and Gina as they try, fail, and try again, to host a party of fun and games. A vibrant celebration of their most magical abode that keeps getting interrupted by unwanted thoughts and uninvited guests.
Layered with dance, theatrics and real life stories from outside of the womb, this interactive dance theatre show explores themes of choice, bodily autonomy and reproductive justice. Expect WOMB PARTY to be a very special occasion that reminds us all of our power to choose.
