Fabulation Or, The Re-Education of Undine, follows successful and high-powered African-American publicist Undine Barnes Calles on an unexpected journey, after her smooth-talking husband disappears with her hard-earned fortune.

In this 2023 adaptation, Undine Barnes Calles, a viral sensation turned influencer mogul, grapples with her ending fame and a vanished fortune. Undine’s evolution from online sensation to influencer magnate adds a dynamic layer, exploring the complexities of identity and the pitfalls of fame. This production promises a gripping blend of relatable struggles, cautionary tales, and a compelling commentary on the influencer era.

 

Fabulation Or, The Re-Education of Undine is an external production by Rose Bruford South West.

A brick wall lit by different coloured lights creates a rainbow mosaic backdrop for artist Stacy Makishi’s dance moves; a woman with a short grey bob and glasses, who is wearing a black long-sleeved shirt and black trousers. The chaotic crowd of people are joining in and display their unique poses, some with hands gesticulating, others joyfully still, sitting on the floor. The image is treated with a green smoke at the bottom.
