Solo Performance – Dark Comedy of Misfortune 60 minutes
Sitting beneath a dangerous looking metal mobile, preparing for the birth of a mysteriously conceived baby, a sassy hypochondriac attempts to figure out what is ailing her. Through her amplified stethoscope, she tries to listen beyond the noises made by her personal leitmotif, opinionated tapeworm Warren, and palpitating heartache to hear the hiccups and movement of an unborn child. Can she diagnose herself before Warren heads for the bloodstream?
Featuring an eerie bassoon soundscape that appears to emit from the bones of the protagonist, a history of longing hung from a giant metallic mobile and flashlight shooting stars.
Premiered 2007 at the Ottawa Fringe Festival, and continued to Festivals in Victoria and Vancouver.
