One Scientific Mystery or Why Did the Aborigines Eat Captain Cook? – VHS Productions
Sometimes you have to go to St Petersburg to explore the intense intricacies of intimacy.
Overview
Late on a midwinter night in St Petersburg, Rhys returns to his freezing apartment to find his brother-in-law, Ben, unconscious and a naked woman about to jump out the window.
This is the tantilising teaser from the upcoming play One Scientific Mystery or Why Did the Aborigines Eat Captain Cook?, a title adapted from a song by Russian musician Vladimir Vysotsky. The emotionally explorative play relocates midwinter Russia into the Upstairs Theatre of TAP Gallery and sees renowned director Iain Sinclair take the reins directing Russian-born Victoria Haralabidou's playwriting debut.
Her deep and controlled depiction of romance, personal loss and the intense intricacies of intimacy is being produced by VHS Productions, a new theatre company promoting work by a diverse cultural range of female artists.
Two-time Logie Award-winning actor Aaron Jeffery and debutant Dallas Bigelow join Haralabidou herself as two Australians, and all captivate their audience with their tale of translation from within the confines of a freezing St Petersburg apartment for six nights only, from Tuesday, April 9, until Sunday, April 14.
