Ablution is conceived as amusing on the ridiculous nature of the rituals of femininity. Combining the 1940's pop art pin-up girl world of Gil Elvgren and the common garden leech, Ablution is a humorous and startling view of the fine line between what is beautiful and what is grotesque. In a Vaudevillian series of thematically linked dances, songs and pantomimes, the audience meets three headless ladies under the hairdryers of a salon, a sequined clad lounge singer, a gorgeous woman whose beauty products cause her to explode, and several gum chewing girls. A chorus of grape-vining maidens serve as tour guides in devolution, heralding our preened ladies back to their inner primordial leech.
