DROWNING IN BATIK
A Play ~ A Novella ~ A Photographic Exposé
by Suzanne Limozinere
La Suzanna developed Drowning in Batik, a.k.a. DIB, over a ten-year period, weaving three separate genres: a Stage Play, a Novella, and a Photographic Exposé.
The first stage began as a full length stage play, A Lifetime Of Everything.... The main characters Simone and Felix struggle with the demise of their marriage and ultimately the consequences. Set in Paris, France, where Jerome makes a surprise visit to Yvonne. Once the truth of the visit is uncovered, they face one another candidly for the first time in their thirty-plus years of knowing one another.
The second stage follows with the novella Drowning In Batik. This story focuses on the main character Ynez. Ynez takes herself out of her comfort zone and holes up in Bali, Indonesia. There she struggles with the marriage and death of her husband, Julian. The protective cloak of the Balinese culture is shed when Ynez takes us on a journey through the exploration of the play she is writing.
DIB Photographic Exposé spans over the ten year creation of DIB. The photographs and photographs of collages expose and explore the beauty of love and the harshness of betrayal.
La Suzanna invites you to a preview of Drowning In Batik. Soon to be released.
