TAPECODE 064.02

In the feminist fairy tale Not A Jealous Bone, an old woman Sophie, is ecstatically happy because she has found a bone that she believes will give her eternal youth. A younger woman becomes jealous of her newfound zest for life; Sophie will have to remain ever-vigilant if she wants to benefit from the powers of the bone. Accompanied by a musical narration, this melodrama unmasks the trauma of aging and proposes a reassertion of the female self.
