A Quarreling Pair

Aphids

(Melbourne)

Recently premiered at the Melbourne International Arts Festival, Aphids

presents a triptych of miniature puppet plays for adults inspired by
American avant-garde writer, Jane Bowles. A Quarreling Pair is an
intense study of the desire to feel both safe and free in our most precious
relationships. Charged with Bowles' unique

blend of comedy and dark candour this play is juxtaposed with two new
works that elaborate on her ambivalent imagery. Each was written for
two sister characters. In Mr

Peterson's Milk by Lally Katz, the sisters are fearlessly together, sharing
a surreal adventure inside the milkman's brain. And When They Were
Good by Cynthia Troup finds the sisters restless, inhabiting an old
fairytale. A Quarreling Pair vividly combines object theatre, live actors,
puppets and music. These touching stories are brought to life by
performers Caroline Lee and Sarah Kriegler. Created by Margaret
Cameron, Lally Katz, Sarah Kriegler, Caroline Lee, Amelia Roper,
Cynthia Troup, Jethro Woodward and David Young.

Music by Paul Bowles.
