Suzy Homemaker is a one woman contemporary dance show from Erica Mulkern.
The piece explores feminism through three historical periods: early 1900s, 1920s and the 1950s. ‘Suzy Homemaker’ was a line of miniature functional toy household appliances produced by Topper Toys, and launched in 1966, teaching girls how to be the perfect housewife. In this performance we see women throughout history trapped in a role they did not ask for, and had no choice in.
Following the Suffragette movement, before police quash the revolution; a double life; and domestic bliss turned nightmare, Suzy Homemaker invites you to be the perfect housewife, just like your mother.
