A WARM HEART MAKES THE TASTIEST TREATS
With its "whisperings and wanderings and wobbly knees",
Cake is a culinary tour-de-force of passion and pavlova.
Indulge your senses as Astrid Pill and Zoe Barry get elbows deep
in the stuff of life to cook up a deliciously dizzy melange of loss,
recovery, seduction, satire and serenade.
Amid clouds of flour, Astrid (winner of an Adelaide Critics Circle
award for Innovation ‘06) leads us by the nose through stirring
experiences of appetite, fullness, pregnancy, desire, emptiness
and into the absurdity, pain, mess and escapism of romantic love.
Her longing is traced out on the hard wood of her kitchen table,
immersing you in the folds of fancy and recollection. All the while,
Zoe (a multi-instrumentalist who has scored more than 30 productions)
performs lush musical accompaniment on squeezebox accordion that
is as richly textured as the finest European pastry. Worldly, wise
and dripping with wit, Cake is a sensuous delight.
Direct from an Adelaide Fringe Festival premiere, Cake arrives
in Melbourne. Developed over two years by Vitalstatistix - Australia’s
only full-time women’s theatre company, Cake blends
sumptuous wordplay, physicality, gentle audience interaction and
music.
