Couture

String Telephone Theatre Company (Australia)

An original piece making its international debut, Couture tells the story of an aspiring playwright and seamstress, who is presented with the opportunity to write for a major theatre company. Holding onto ideals about the intrinsic value and meaning of art, the playwright descends into a spiral of destruction fuelled by insecurity of not looking the part and grappling with what should be used for inspiration. The descent into madness is framed using discussions and visuals around fashion and textiles, with an absurdist twist, to highlight the overlapping complexities and issues found in the arts industry and in fashion.
