The actress has recently been to university to study the natural world and is now itching to share what she’s discovered. So she has written a book and developed an illustrated lecture about the extraordinary and varied ways creatures find to reproduce.
She is gracing the stage as part of the Adelaide Fringe Festival and we are told that nothing is impossible or too ridiculous for Rossellini with antics such as dressing up as a copulating fly, gobbling cherry tomatoes and squirting silly string at her face to simulate the erotic passions of brooder fish.
“Nature is a kinky mistress” and Rossellini sheds light upon the reproductive biology of animals with improvised puppetry, absurd visual humour and very European attitude to sex.
Here is a clip of her in action…
Isabella Rossellini is set to perform in Melbourne on March 26 at Playhouse, Arts Centre Melbourne.
