Where: 6th Floor Numa, Church St.

When: 7-8:30pm on Friday 12th Feb, 2016

As injustice reaches epic proportions, we reach back into the epics to reflect on contemporary struggles. Shadow Liberation uses creatively crafted visual stories to captivate the imagination and invite audiences to interrupt the injustice of gender violence. In the tradition of Augusto Boal's Forum Theatre, audience members are invited on stage to offer improvisational interventions into scenes depicting oppression. This artistic dialogue offers no quick fix solutions but rather places faith in the emerging ethics of the community to creatively address the problem. We invite you to face the shadows through remarkable works of participatory shadow theatre.

Doors open at 6:30pm
Show at 7pm
No late entry
Performance is suitable for a mature audience. Advisable for people 16 years old or older, yet young at heart.
