Still Life
T0352690223
Watch, listen and draw the hedonistic model and muse to Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud. Henrietta Moraes itinerant and rackety life was sustained by the tolerance of friends, oiled by alcohol and fuelled by an astonishing variety of drugs. In this award-winning play, Sue MacLaine captures Moraes' characteristic wit and candour, regaling her life as a hazy poem and recreating poses from her illustrious career. As the performance progresses the line between subject and object, artist and model, public and private, blurs. Through drawing and listening, the audience engages in seeing beyond the naked female form to the woman within.
