potkettleblack productions: Recollection

26 June @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm AEST

Olivia, a mother, pieces her late teenage daughter’s life into a perfume.

In the recent past, Molly, a teenage girl, falls in love with Jenna, a new school friend. Molly’s mother, Olivia, is troubled by Jenna’s insensitivity and tendency towards self-destruction. The relationship between the two girls blooms in secret.

In the now, Molly has died without warning, and Olivia is left to pick up the pieces of her life, seeking to remember Molly by her smell – as a perfume. Olivia must come to terms with who her daughter really was, and who she was going to become, to capture her volatile essence. She must take Jenna as part of Molly.

Directed by Cathy Hunt (‘What Every Girl Should Know’, Brunswick Mechanics), this surprising new queer work offers a sensory experience for audiences, employing scent to capture the play’s delicate interpretation of grief, decay, and blooming.
