BARELY HUMAN
Post-prison cabaret at its messiest: can violence ever be justified?
Eva’s out of prison on early release. Her therapist said a cabaret would be a great creative outlet. So here she is! She’s a bit raw still. She’s a bit raw all the time, actually. But her parole officer will be there, so she can’t do anything too crazy. Right? She’s going to sing some songs for you. And tell you some funny stories. Be nice and help her start her new life off fresh. By the by, people take things too literally – don’t you think? There’s a lot of violence in the world,
and sometimes you’ve just got to make a statement. Symbolic crime, if you will. Chocolate milk, anyone?
Barely Human is Eva Voss’s second cabaret. Her first, Yeet The Dog, explored the dark side of life in a humorous, heartfelt way: we’re all going to experience loss, pain and absurdity, so we’d better love our lives through it. Eva also co-founded Far Between Theatre (@farbetweentheatre), with whom she will be performing a raucous jazz-age Much Ado About Nothing in March 2026. Far Between Theatre makes it its mission to tell stories of softness, difference and violence, encouraging audiences to open up their hearts and fire up
their bellies.
