CYCLE
Raw, surreal, and visceral, Cycle takes audiences through a woman’s life—from birth to giving birth to death. Inspired by Ruth Gwily’s wordless graphic novel, this visually stunning work blends vaudeville, ballet, and absurdism to explore the violent, tender, and beautiful dimensions of existence. Choreographed by Kimberley de Jong and directed by Jon Lachlan Stewart, Cycle uses movement, objects, live video, and theatrical play to transform Gwily’s symbolic tableaus into a striking, wordless journey of life and relationships.
SPACE JUICE
A new resource, Orange Juice, has been found in asteroids near Earth. This substance can fuel machines, create durable alloys, and even revolutionize fashion. It’s also a potent hallucinogen, used recreationally and spiritually. Society is divided: some see it as a tool for space exploration, others as a way to heal Earth. At the center of this satirical tale are a space researcher harvesting Orange Juice and her teenage niece on Earth, who uses it as a drug. When the niece’s toddler brother consumes it, he gains mysterious powers that may reunite their family—and uncover the substance’s true origins.
THE IMPOSSIBLE LIGHT
During the COVID lockdown, a father tells his son a story about a man trapped in a cave who discovers a living light. The light teases him, reveals the cave’s beauty, and leaves him forever changed after his rescue. This inspired The Impossible Light, where Callen, a programmer addicted to screens, spirals after learning his partner Claire is pregnant. Obsessed with caves after the 2018 Thai rescue, he explores one, becomes trapped, and meets a living light. Through visions of Claire’s pregnancy and his own fears, he confronts the illusions of his tech-filled life and finds a path back to humanity.
