ABACUS

by Brett Heath

After a self-imposed exile of 23 days after his lover, Lilly, dumps him, Abacus comes back to life. Like a mating salmon, he begins a quest to return to Lilly's house to try to regain her attention. What eventuates is a physical tragicomedy that takes the audience on a rollercoaster ride within the confines of Abacus's body and mind. An intense look at the aftermath of love and the irrational behaviour it can provoke.
