INTERACTIVE

Immersive, Multi-Disciplinary, Family Appropriate

On average, you pass by 300-500 strangers every day, that's at least 8,650,500 in a lifetime, people you brush past daily; their promises, loves, hopes, dreams and goals in this life forever to be unknown to you and yours to them. Let's bridge one of these gaps (because ppl are more than NPCs that despawn when you're not there). Leave your fingerprints on a stranger's life. Write a letter (or draw a nice picture) and receive a letter in return.

It's comfort.

Its' uncomfortable.

"Mothers Group" is an interdisciplinary performance work featuring movement and voice to explore womanhood, intrinsic connectivity, and the emotional complexities of joy, sorrow, resilience and vulnerability. The work draws inspiration from the collective insight and solidarity found in women's circles and ultimately celebrates the profound ability of women to come together with offerings of solace, understanding, and unwavering support in the face of adversity.

The voice and movement is symbiotic; the choreography unfolds with grace and strength, embodying the nuanced experiences of women, while the live vocal score serves as a powerful companion, weaving a sonic tapestry that echoes the heartbeat of womanhood. It is through ethereal humming and rhythmic pulsations, the voice becomes a vessel for shared experiences, carrying the weight of untold stories and resilient spirits. The interplay of choir and choreography reflects this mutuality and provides an expression of the maternal strength of sisterhood.

It is more than just a performance – it is a ritual of healing, a celebration, and a testament to the enduring power of women.

Taking inspiration from corporate aesthetic, late night shows and the mess of their own desk; Elizabeth Victoria presents an interactive theatre piece wherein, before seeing your MUSE Festival show of choice, you can prompt the artists with which they write song or poetry to - to be collected on the visitors way out!

*In the instance of the artist's failure to deliver, you may receive a take-home trinket.*

DANCE + PHYSICAL THEATRE

Multi-Disciplinary, Paranormal

You shouldn’t be afraid, of that which you can’t see. We are not alone, we have never been alone. Our existence is hauntingly beautiful, but what happens when it’s all over?

The outline of something that used to be here, but unable to touch, unable to live. For we can never disappear, the soul of a being can’t simply be wiped from existence, like it was never there at all.

The living and the dead tangle and intertwine, roaming among each other, hiding in plain sight.
