Step into the world of Nancy, public servant and writer of anti-terrorism pamphlets. For Nancy, normal life has become a potential battleground, where travelling beyond her front door is not as straight forward as it seems.

Then join Carolina, as she hosts a macabre dinner party, where she and her guests will practice for the end of the world. As the electricity is cut, and the night grows longer, Carolina uncovers a desperate method that may preserve all their lives in the event of a nuclear strike.

Finally meeting Lev, the beating heart who will live in an underground bunker for an eternity.

Cotton Wool and Camphor is an absurd tryptic of gruesome tales, that explore what effect the fear of terrorism has on Australian culture.
