Brisbane Powerhouse Presents A Mouthful of Pins
EVENT ANNOUNCEMENT
A Mouthful of Pins
Brisbane Powerhouse
Now through 16 Feb 08
From the creators of the award-winning play, The Knowing of Mary Poppins, comes this intriguing show about truth, illusion and the ‘romance’ of melancholia.
Is it possible to overdose on happiness? What is the right dosage of sadness to live well in the world? Image, poetry, music, movement and narrative combine to explore the way experiences, choices, dreams and disappointments determine happiness – or melancholia.
On a journey to explore her identity, a singer meets two other women: one from Victorian times and the other her contemporary. Will they direct her towards happiness or bury her deeper into the abyss of discontent?
