presented by Vanessa Ellis and Bonkel Theatre with Glen Blair.
Join us for a night of illumination, where shadows flicker and breathe with life, revealing power not as something fixed or held, but as fluid, and shifting—an ever-changing force that moves between the primal and the constructed, the instinctual and the observed. In this play of light and darkness, what is hidden emerges and dissolves again, inviting us to witness the delicate, restless currents that shape both the world around us and the one within.
Live music and score designed by Enio Pozzebon and Glen Blair interact with puppeteers Vanessa Ellis and Trina Gaskell, interwoven with an original composition by Etoile Marley.
A beautiful new work from some of Australia’s most sort after puppet makers and performers.
