Inbal Pinto
Inbal Pinto’s latest show, Boobies, creates a world in which characters from Edward Lear and Mervyn Peake might happily meet. On a beach sown with blue seagrass, a dropsy-bellied patriarch wages war against a sinister emerald-bearded merman. A giant warrior queen drops fledgling soldier chicks from beneath her crinoline skirt. A chorus of blue-feathered jesters dance beneath a rust red sky, and the cast of surreal cross-breeds is completed by a pair of top-heavy dinosaur fowl and a trio of a slutty cabaret songbirds.
