Description |
"Wet and Dry is the opposition of fertility and barrenness. It describes the two possibilities of having a fulfilling sexual life or not. It alludes to the opposition of sex and reproduction tied richly together or aridly separated either in lust or in the desperation of the childless". Set alternately in Sydney and the Northern Territory with a stage divided by a huge cyclone fence. |
