An opera about Bras and the Environment…

One Little Black Bra. One unsuspecting shopper, suddenly thrust into a consumer’s maze of unwanted but oh-so-want-able choices! How can anything so pink and lacy represent an environmental disaster on a catastrophic scale?

“BRA-VO! An Opera-in-Progress” tackles the issue of the personal and environmental cost of Fast Fashion. It’s a tale of runaway greed and consumption that promises everything but can never satisfy and only costs the earth.

To take on issues of this magnitude “BRA-VO!” is devised as a Tragic-Comic Opera. Expect bras galore, shocking statistics, seamstresses, a Greek Chorus, several deadly sins, and the Devil in the Lingerie Department. This piece asks “Who needs all this stuff?!” in the hope we can stop skidding down the slippery slope of over-consumption.

“BRA-VO!” has been developed with the artistic support of Kath Burlinson, Mairi Campbell and Bryony Kimmings.
