The Fantastic Life of Minnie Rubinski
Minnie Rubinski is a woman with strong opinions. In 1950s America, she forged her own path, breaking social boundaries, and now recalls her Fantastic Life – but what is real and what is fantasy..? And does it really matter?
In the centre of the room a giant brain pulses. Wander though this organic landscape of trailing synapses and connect together Minnie’s fragmented memories to discover her true and fantastic life. This unique production involves filmed memories using a cast of beautifully carved marionettes, placed in perfectly detailed period sets.
