Description Meow Meow's subversive cabaret is a fairytale gone rogue.The legendary post-post-modern diva takes up residence in International Festival HQ for a festival-long run. Joined by a posse of DIY princes, she gives Hans Christian Andersen's story of self-sacrifice, seduction and salvation a raucous contemporary make-over.Meow Meow's Little Mermaid is a wild and hilarious riot, colliding Andersen's dark aquatic fantasy with her own mis-adventures in love, blending sparkling frivolity with fierce intelligence and a blowtorch wit.
