Perpetuity
(Work-in-Progress)

Shambles Ensemble

Fusing visual and physical storytelling, clowning and illusion, Perpetuity explores a life that is never quite finished. 

A man with short black hair and glasses is has their back slightly turned away from the viewer, wearing a black t-shirt. He has just thrown a pale, almost transparent piece of cloth in the air, his arms still outstretched from the motion. The cloth is still suspended in the air, and there is a fan in front of the man keeping it afloat. The background is completely black.

Liminal
(Work-in-Progress)

Hsiang-Sheng Teng

Blending performance magic with live art, movement and film, Liminal invites audiences to explore the boundaries between illusion and reality.

A white man with long curly hair tied back in a ponytail is wearing a suit and extending out his arms as if ready to cast a spell. He looks concerned, as if he’s trying to ward something off. Behind him is a window painted black and a metallic red and purple curtain. The whole image has a paint-like quality to it, as if it’s been put through a retro filter on photo-booth to make it appear more like a poster.

Answer Me, Pythia

This Is Not A Magic Show

Vincent Gambini

A show about magic, about theatre, but mostly about ourselves and how easily we suspend our disbelief.

A white man with short grey hair is sat down and talking into a microphone. He’s wearing a pink paper crown on his head and a pink waterproof jacket with a sticky note on it that says ‘ME’. Behind him a pale pink liquid is dripping down the wall. The same liquid is also on his jacket, hand and lips as well.
