Wild Women

The Underworld

January 21, 2021 • Open Heart Surgery Theatre • Season 1 • Episode 1

A surreal audio-drama

In this first episode, two theatre makers find themselves grappling with their obsession with Leonora Carrington, the English-Mexican painter and writer whose incredible life and work has influenced many. Their obsession transforms as they chat with writer Heidi Sopinka, and begin to fall into Carrington’s paintings, a world that is strange, animalistic, mythological and absurd.

A sonic experience that is humorous and touching; wild and alive.
