PARASAIL
Kath Dolheguy
‘Parasail’ is an original new theatre work exploring class, neurodiversity and parental abandonment. Based on true events, this black comedy jumps between present day and nineties Geelong as KELLY, the central character, embarks on a mission to rewrite her disappointing childhood memories.
Kelly can’t afford therapy, so she downloads a self-hypnosis app that promises to rescript painful moments from her childhood. What Kelly doesn’t count on, are the people from her past refusing to play along. They won’t leave Kelly’s subconscious without a fight.
