Bumpo

Ben Loftus, Cam Pileggi • Semi-professional company

60 minutes•Jade Studio
Bumpo tells the story of two women in the midst of a divorce. Sam, an underachieving writer and Eileen, an emotionally reserved scientist with a highly secretive government job are meeting to finalise the terms of their divorce and to arrange custody for Bumpo, a genetically spliced human/dog hybrid created by Eileen after the couple couldn't decide between getting a dog or having a baby. Though Sam does not want to lose Eileen, she cannot separate herself from her resentment of Bumpo. A bizarre exploration of heartbreak and identity, Bumpo walks the tight rope of drama and black comedy.
