Pista Continuum

Pista Continuum honours Glebe Island’s layered history—from its Indigenous roots to its industrial past. The project’s three interconnected stages, dubbed the “narrative runway,” guides audiences on a journey through site-specific performance spaces that reflect both the beauty and complexity of the harbour landscape. Utilising an open, scaffold-like structure and following the historic axes of the site's land reclamaton, the design creates a space where Sydney’s history and contemporary narratives converge in a continuous dialogue.
