AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A companion piece to Fire, described as a 'performance feature'.

'Neal is a pearl diver, partner of comely Melanie. The drama is set in his
fluviphilipic unconscious where words and water play, glinting like sunlight on the sea. Memories, inventions and fantasies swirl, surface, ebb and are submerged as Neal follows a stream of relationships back to the life source.'

A companion piece to Water.

'A recovering pyromaniac talks through her experience, relating memories and fantasies with flickerings from the unconscious. Her monologue crackles with the symbolism of conflagration evoking apocalypse and damnation, danger and desire, madness and rage, purgation and salvation. Is memory to the imagination what air is to fire? Will the process of analysis work a phoenix-like transformation? Dr Burn remains a silent listener.'
