Pioneering theatre-maker Kaite O'Reilly collaborates with composer Rebecca Applin and performer/visual language expert Sophie Stone to expose one of the most unique operations of WW2; whereby ordinary women were plucked from obscurity and parachuted behind enemy lines. These falling women, spiralling through the dark became saboteurs and silent killers. Sent to spy, to eavesdrop, to encourage the spilling of secrets. The project's code name? The Beauty Parade. A unique collaboration between Deaf and hearing artists, The Beauty Parade incorporates live music, evocative songs and visual language to tell one of the most extraordinary stories of the 20th century. Inspired by true events, this moving production honours the unsung heroes, these invisible women, erased from history.Producer Wales Millennium Centre. Producer Kaite O'Reilly Productions.
