Belszki and the Matriarch present an evening of well-known classical music, played by the Matriarch on keyboard, overlaid with the wordsmithery of Belszki. Experience a cross-generational, mother-daughter dynamic, as they subvert the music of dead white men. What could possible go wrong? 


Come along to decide WHO is actually in charge: the pianist or the librettist? Expect comedy, pathos and menopausal musings.


‘At least there’s no PRS declaration or copyright infringement; they all died over one hundred years ago …’ 

Belszki


‘Why aren’t we at a venue with a grand piano?’ 

The Matriarch


‘I need to be accompanied by a full symphony orchestra!’

Belszki


‘Orchestras are expensive.’

5 STAR REVIEW from Out News Global

"Belszki delivers a very enjoyable, 

fascinating and memorable show." 

"I was immersed in Belszki’s engagement and interaction with the audience"

"This left me feeling empowered, which, following the event, has sparked conversations about my newfound knowledge and understanding of such under-spoken and undervalued parts of the body, which are often seen as taboo."


CLITERACY: are you cliterate?


In a world where 200 million women and girls alive today have undergone FGM and where labiaplasty is the fastest growing form of cosmetic surgery in the UK, most people don’t recognize the full anatomy of the clitoris.


Perceived through a lens of fear and censorship. Deliberately omitted from education, science, and culture. 


Why does society negate a body part whose sole purpose is pleasure? 


Join Belszki on a journey from phallusy to cliteracy. 


Edutainment, sociology and feminist theory collide in this taboo-busting multimedia performance. Expect spoken word, comedy and audience interaction. 


Sculpt a play doh clit. Interactive phone quiz to assess your cliteracy level; see if you graduate with a BSc, MSc or PhD in cliteracy!
