| Synopsis: | Two persons: one blue, one pink, inhabit similarly coloured highchairs. They trash out their understandings of birth, the life force, gender indoctrination, and ultimately death without ever leaving their perches. The author has given permission for appropriate updating but the text proves remarkably resilient. | |||||
