Cordelia, Mein Kind
Feb 2, 2012 @ 12:00 pm - Feb 5, 2012 @ 8:00 am
| Thur & Fri at 8pm Sat at 5pm Sun at 3pm
Cordelia, Mein Kind is a duet for film and live body; a personal exploration of a present-day Cordelia-like character revealed through language, physicality, image and film. Inspired by Shakespeare’s King Lear, the piece combines original interviews (between a contemporary Cordelia and her father, a Yiddish-speaking Holocaust survivor now in his dotage and living in ‘exile’ in the Melbourne suburb of Bentleigh), and other visual imagery, with a language that is gestural, poetic, direct and physical. The multiplicity of performance languages weave seamlessly together, creating a challenging and unique performance work. Concept/Co-Creator/Film and Performer: Deborah Leiser-Moore |

…deeply textured, multilayered and savagely poetical work…. Real Time
Here is theatre – visceral, elemental, brutal – that will heave your heart into your mouth.

…. a multi-stranded narrative that literally pulsates, like an exploded heart, with deep feeling and mystery
