Riah Knight is a British-Romani artist based in Berlin whose practice spans acting, music, writing, and dramaturgy. Raised around the UK Romani activist movement, she developed a keen political awareness from a young age, and continues to engage in activism through her art.

Glossy Pain takes the audience to bed in their comedic one-woman show. How can we be vulnerable with each other, when the world around us demands us to be hard? How can we expect others to be honest, if we’re not even honest with ourselves?

Teasing and tormenting both herself and the audience, Riah Knight questions the authenticity of performance, seeking answers from religious and mythical figures.

With a characteristic blend of humour and introspection and featuring original music, this English-language solo promises to ignite discussion. Come lie with us!

A production by Glossy Pain and Berlin TD Theatre.

Warning:
The performance is sexually explicit and deals with religion in a provocative manner. Recommended for ages 16 and up.
