From critically acclaimed and award winning cabaret-theatre maker Ginava comes a brand new theatre work, Clawset.

Clawset is not your standard ‘coming out’ story, picture monsters in elaborate costumes coming to life as we are taken on a journey through the depths of a bedroom closet to find self acceptance.

A queer teen, tormented at school and living with his disconnected single mother, is struggling with his sexuality. One night, spectacular monsters visit during his sleep and take him to a world inside his closet. There, he comes face to face with dark, scary creatures and characters who force him to confront who he is and gain strength to find his way “out of the closet”.
