Current production

The Migration of Souls

 
 
 

The Migration of Souls is an immersive multi-art form work taking as its theme the journeys of those who are forced to leave their homes and seek asylum in other countries. Creative development has taken place with the assistance of the Australia Council, Arts South Australia and the Graham F Smith Peace Foundation, and venue support from Vitalstatistix.

The work unfolds through a series of spaces, asking the audience and performers to journey together through film, music and story.

The Migration of Souls includes music by South Australian composer Anne Cawrse and film by James Kalisch. Development partners include the Australian Refugee Association and Baptistcare via its Friendship program. Discussions are under way with potential production partners.

Audience feedback from the November 2017 development:

I found it deeply moving. I emerged from the experience almost speechless. It had touched my innermost being.

Thank you for a magnificent show!

 The experience will stay with us for quite some time, I know.

As always, your theatrical-personal-political-humanitarian instincts are well aligned and your vision played out in an affecting way.

All the elements of the production were of the highest artistic quality and executed with the greatest restraint to create an aesthetic of rare beauty and depth.
