Sweet Sisters

Director/Choreographer: Janet Roston

 

Based on the Victorian poem, “Goblin Market,” by Christina Rossetti. Every evening, when sisters Lizzie and Laura go to fetch water from a nearby stream, they must listen to the tempting calls of goblin men selling delicious fruit. Lizzie fears the goblins and and warns her sister to do the same but Laura cannot resist. After a Bacchanal with the goblins Laura returns bewitched and withering away. Lizzie must visit the goblins to save her sister. A fascinating erotic tale of sisterly devotion.
