Ménage à Trois

I wasn’t made to click. But with you I click. We. Click. Like a clique, a trio, a Ménage à Trois.

A beautiful study of love, obsession, loneliness and manipulation, Ménage à Trois is a visually
stunning piece of dance theatre from performer Claire Cunningham and choreographer/video
artist Gail Sneddon. Set within an extraordinary, animated environment, it envelops the
performers in a surreal, imaginary world.

This darkly humorous and deeply personal portrait explores Claire's twenty-year relationship
with her crutches and asks if it's possible to find love when there’s already three of you in
the relationship.

Recommended for ages 14+

By Claire Cunningham and Gail Sneddon
Performed by Claire Cunningham and Christopher Owen

‘If this piece shimmers with the fantastical feel of a fairytale, it is rooted (with unwavering honesty)
in Claire Cunningham’s own thoughts and everyday life.’ The Herald*****

'This fearless fierce and beautiful show...not many other artists in any discipline would put their
lives on the line quite so frankly as Cunningham does...But then, not many people have the set
of skills she has.’ The Times****
