BY THE FADING LIGHT

(2015-2016)

 

By the Fading Light is a piece about age and aging. It unfolds the inner story of a woman, past, present and future. All ages exist within her - a young naive self, a disappointed mature self, a bitter ageing self, a wiser older self. She journeys between these identities, fighting with invisible demons of self image, mourning the loss of forgotten dreams, finding peace in the wisdom of perspective.

The performance premiered and toured as part of the Blue Cliff double bill production Danching With Ghosts
