Linking Horizons

The theatre is envisioned as floating, symbolically bridging the gap between two distinct sites: Cockatoo Island and White Horse Point Lookout, inspired by the journey of a convict who swam to reunite with his lover. This design creates a seamless transition between these sites, with the stage as a threshold between two worlds. The interplay of movement and circulation invites the audience into the lovers' emotional journey, where the act of travelling becomes the performance. This experience deepens the narrative connection, celebrating the historical and symbolic essence of the landscape while transforming it into a story of longing and reunion.
