Screen icon Isabella Rossellini is coming to Australia to perform her new, playful and wonderfully odd stage show Green p*rno, a one-woman comedy about mating in the natural world.
In Green p*rno, Rossellini takes us on an unusual and fascinating journey into the sex life and mating habits of a number of land and marine animals – the snail, the worm, the fly, the shrimp, the deadly spider, the praying mantis, the anchovy and the bi-phallic snake.
Green p*rno originally began in 2008 when Robert Redford encouraged Rossellini to create short environmental films for his Sundance TV Channel. Rossellini knew it was a unique opportunity, "I particularly love short films, I've always been interested in animal behaviour, and I certainly know a lot of people that are interested in sex. So here you have the three elements that make the core concept of Green p*rno – short stories, animals and sex."
The critically acclaimed and provocative short film series ran for three seasons and saw Rossellini dressed in a stunning variety of insect and sea-creature costumes as she described and enacted the mating rituals of various wildlife. A book followed and now, the stage adaptation, which has its world premiere in Los Angeles in November 2013.
Written by Rossellini – who is currently studying animal behaviour at Hunter College in New York – and Jean-Claude Carrière, Green p*rno mixes live performance with several of the short films. Each story, read and performed on stage by Rossellini is scientifically accurate and in each of the films she presents herself as a particular animal.
