A City of Shadows & Ice
Project Summary
In August 2007, Kogarah Town Square was transformed into a wasteland city constructed of ice panes and fire for A City of Shadows & Ice – a unique large-scale physical theatre performance working with young people from the region. A partnership between Shopfront Theatre and Kogarah Council, the show was developed in response to events at Cronulla and Brighton in 2005, and used arts as a means for exploring themes of difference and belonging - walls we build and how they can be broken down. The talented team at Shopfront worked with over 70 young people from diverse backgrounds throughout the project, and the performance drew inspiration from graphic novels, poetry, free running and was set to a live soundtrack by band Entropic. The performance ran over 4 nights in Kogarah Town Square and was a free community event. Despite rain and winter temperatures, over 1000 people attended.
