| Description | Marks the reunion of Deborah Hunt, Jean McAllister and Sally Rodwell, three performance artists who first worked together in the early seventies with the original Red Mole, and who have not performed as a group for eight years….Built around three collective memories, the sparkle comes when the reminiscing stops and the set pieces begin: Hunt's mesmeric golden mask making a halo out of McAllister's extraordinary hair; Rodwell's pink Sendakian baby with Hunt's Big Mama; the lopsided puppet booth, with its strangely innocent white figures, the whole linked by McAllister's wonderful rich voice and music…. | |||||||||||||||||||
