Description 'Inspired by' Hinepau by Gavin Bishop. Kelly lies sick in a hospital bed, an oxygen mask obscures her mouth and the only sound is that f her laboured breathing. Her life is set in the real owrld, full of harsh realities, and she is played by a puppet. In contrast, the mythical world her mind takes her to is peopled by living, breathing actors who represent spirit figures.
