beguiled

PACT centre for emerging artists presents

BEGUILED

Steady, detailed, site-focused theatre experiences from Sydney’s emerging performance makers, choosing to tackle their central obsessions by way of sensory smorgasbord and bold thematic extrapolation… Annabelle McMillan’s playful interaction with a miniature projection of herself on a cardboard diorama is the night’s visual standout.” – Teik-Kim Pok, RealTime Arts

“These scenes have a compelling, dreamlike quality: a softly lit room full of dangling keys, a tiny screen-bound woman duelling with her life-size self, a pair of identically orange-clad women in an orange room trading places on an orange bedspread.” – TimeOut Sydney

Choose to be lost, choose to believe.

A performance installation experience by the PACT Ensemble 2011.

We share a universal drive to believe in the potential of magic, a desire to explain the inexplicable, to overcome the impossible, to achieve our destiny.

Created and performed by Taryn Brine, Kate Brown, Madison Chippendale, Cameron Ellis, Sam Koh, Annabelle McMillan, Lucille Lehr, Tanya Thaweeskulcha, Emma White and Amber Wilcox.

Directed by Cat Jones and Julie Vulcan with sound design and composition by Melissa Hunt, lighting design by Emma Lockhart Wilson, design by Lucy Thornett.
