Radar Revue

Radar Revue, nestled Sydney's Iron Cove, stands as an architectural homage to both historical and cultural narratives. Drawing from the British GL Mk2 radar receiver, which played a pivotal role in WWII detecting Japanese float planes, the theatre frames the Leichhardt area by metaphorically scanning and capturing views of the landscape. The arched pathways invites visitors to explore hidden layers of the site's past, entering through a tunnel-like archway that evokes movement through time. The theatre's radar-inspired design and interaction with the enrivonment uncover stories with each step, as light and shadow heighten this unique sensory journey.

The collage, structured like a radar scan, reveals layered memories and fleeting encounters. Fragmented figures and landscapes echo the theatre’s essence, inviting viewers to explore hidden histories embedded within the site.
