| Summary |
18-minute edited film version of the premiere production as seen in 1996 Adelaide Festival (approx 75 mins). <i>The Black Sequin Dress</i> is an investigation into the psyche and its ability to function creatively. A woman in a black sequin dress leaves the children for the evening and goes to a nightclub. The play begins. The woman arrives at the nightclub. She walks across the shiny floor. In a moment of indecision she glances back, slips and falls. We watch as memory, desire, dream, fantasy and myth serve to animate the descent into the underworld and her subsequent ascent. |
