What's On

Part installation and part performance; Vulcana has announced “As If No-one Is Watching”, an all-encompassing spectacle of circus, dance and rhythm, descending upon The Brisbane Powerhouse September 27^th through September 30^th.Bringing together women from all walks of life as they break their silence; Vulcana is inviting you to come behind the scenes and bear witness to the secrets women keep. A dual production with dancers from mature women’s dance collective WaW, “As If No-one Is Watching” sees generations of women share intimacies from the private realm of secrets and desires and make public their expectations, frustrations and triumphs as they unleash their voices and their actions to take up space and push against barriers.Body image, working motherhood, how to think in mathematics and music, hitting life’s crossroads when you are deaf, intergenerational eating disorders, the discovery of self-love, walking alone at night and what that means as a woman: “As If No-one Is Watching” activates spaces both outside and inside the Powerhouse precinct and invokes the use of a wide range of multi-sensory and technological mediums.Augmented by your smartphone as throughout the show you unlock audio of stories about each performer; and the things they really want to say: tickets are on sale now at Brisbane PowerhouseSmart phones and headphones will be supplied if necessary.
