Set in an imaginary nameless space that closely resembles the Caribbean, “Child-Play” is an allegorical Dream Tale paralleling the “innocence” of childhood and the elder phases of existence. Ateesha Mansara, a woman in her late sixties, has lived a life colonized by her own fears about the threat of usurpation of her identity by the Dutchman Spirit of a child molester, whom she had previously met when she was a girl of ten. The spirit of Georgie De Root revisits Ateesha fifty years later in a final attempt to lay “claim” to her soul. Or does he? Available on DVD on the compilation “Artist Spotlight Series: Michelle Mohabeer.”
