"How can you be here with me, yet you do not see me?"
Award-winning Otago theatre company Sahara Breeze (SBZ) Productions joins with Wellington-based acrobatic and aerial circus specialists Strange Case Productions to premier a new locally-devised documentary play called INVISIBLE.
This new multi-disciplinary play brings together text, physical theatre, contemporary circus, and multi-media to explore what it means to feel 'seen' or 'unseen' in today’s world. It is dramaturged by Allison Horsley and directed by Blaise Barham.
"It struck us how often we have heard people talk about feeling ‘invisible’ recently. This led us to explore more, see things, source local people's stories and to devise a performance piece to present some of our stories. We hope the piece will be tender, uplifting, and, at times, funny while perhaps helping us to better understand ourselves, and each other in these new times we live in." Blaise Barham
