Taking as a point of departure an unfinished screenplay by Austrian
polymath Frederick Kiesler, Aphrodite's Left Turn was realised in
collaboration with four other writers, all of whom have been writing
in the voice of one assigned character - the young man, the choir boy,
the cat and Aphrodite. Each soliloquy was written without prior
knowledge of the other contributions and the narrative and voice
developed individually.
The Young Man - Rebecca Bligh
The Choir Boy - Isabel Waidner
Aphrodite - Ben Cain
The Cat - NaoKo TakaHashi
Stage directions & scene descriptions - Samuel Dowd
Instrumentals - Natsue Iked
