When the Bleeding Stops is an inspiring lecture that addresses the silence and taboo that seems to constantly haunt menopause. Hot flushes, mood swings and dry mucous membranes are scrutinised and dealt with in this warm work by Lovísa Ósk Gunnarsdóttir.

On stage, we meet Lovísa who, together with eight local women, shares stories of shame, humour and empathy. Drawing on their personal experiences, they invite us to celebrate this mythical epoch called menopause.

Touring with Dansnät Sweden in autumn 2024.
