About the show

Revealing, sexy and sometimes startling, Theatre Replacement once again delves into the world of biographical examination with their latest performance Dress me up in your love. Using distinct garments collected from around the world, performers dress and undress to reveal in text, song, movement and animation the stories behind the clothes and the closets they came from.

Part theatre, part installation, part fashion show, Dress me up in your love is a collection of intimate and personal stories gathered and told — from the banal and everyday to the critical moments and turning points that shape our lives — woven together in a truly unique and resonant performance.

Co-produced by and developed at PAZZ Performing Arts Festival, Oldenburgisches Staatstheater (Germany). Created by Barbara Clayden, Itai Erdal, Sascha Grub, Veda Hille, Samantha Madely, Dario Martin Rodriguez, Andrew McNee, Cindy Mochizuki, Anita Rochon, Donna Soares, Conor Wylie, James Long and Maiko Bae Yamamoto. Dress me up in your love is proud to have the Powell Street Festival as a community partner.
