The Pigeon Whispers

Om The Pigeon Whispers

Smart and accomplished, it is customary for pyschoanalyst, Dr Faye Monroe, to control the dialogue, ask the questions, tease answers. When she encounters a new client,¿the erudite Oliver Blake, the nature of engagement tilts,¿and with it the axis of Faye's constructed world. A cerebral dance commences. Choreographed with hints of a 'danse macabre', it evolves töfencing, bouts of cognitive and psychological combat. What does he actually¿want? Who is his wife?¿And where is she? Against a classical score, we roam¿and ricochet¿philosophy, art, Schopenhauer and the childless choice, Greek myths,¿scatology and¿sarcophagy, and¿in India,¿the delicate and rich art of passementerie,¿its¿elaborate braids, embellishments and stitching...¿As well as the more mundane - college friends, old flames, excruciating family - the contrast of¿life's messy minutiae.¿ In its Arabic origins, the word of the pigeon whisperer is deemed untrustworthy,¿dismissed as hearsay from court, tainted and taboo. As our perspectives shift and swivel, fault lines are traced, addictions viscerally fed, and as cracks¿and flaws are revealed, we ask, whose¿whispers, whose¿words,¿döwe believe?
