FAT SKIRT BIG NOZZLE is inspired by the work of surrealist painter James Ensor. It is a comic duet between two women who may be old friends or arch rivals or both. They sing, dance and try to snooker fate with a game of cards. Their lives are entwined like a tangle of snakes- are they really Edna and Roberta, the characters from a book they are reading? Or the wild faced figures from a painting that haunt each other’s lives? The show is created and performed by Ellen Maddow, founding member of the Talking Band and Louise Smith, longtime collaborator of Talking Band, Ping Chong, and Otrabanda Company.
