SHAMIRA TURNER
DOPPELDÄNGER
by She Goat
Shamira Turner and Eugénie Pastor
Encompassing experimental live music, gender-twisting visuals, and gothic storytelling, this new work
is an exploration of ‘the Doppelgänger’ devised and performed by a pair of real life doppelgängers.
With an uncanny blend of 1630s-inspired Euro retrofuturism and 1930s wrestling, DoppelDänger is a bilingual boundary-bending attic takeover about the self, the other and togetherness.
Surreal and empowering: it’s Schubert meets the Spice Girls, with electric candles and hijacked video art.
Bring your other selves along for the ride.
Created & performed by She Goat

"The highlight comes in She Goat’s DoppelDänger, two artists linked and the limbs and singing…strange compositions, like Björk’s dissonant combinations of simple vocal melodies laid out with humour over complex sonic productions."

About She Goat
She Goat is the franglais feminist collaboration of Shamira Turner and Eugénie Pastor, both associate artists of award-winning Little Bulb Theatre. DoppelDänger is their first performance project as a duo. Together, they are interested in blurring the boundaries of theatre and live music, extravagant multi-tasking and reclaiming what it means to be two women on stage.
