Where Our Shadows Meet

Presented by: ITR & Equal Voices Arts

A daughter sits in an empty bedroom desperately moulding a friend out of bed sheets. A father sits on the floor of his home, holding his baby girl, whispering “everything will be fine”. Dust collects on a wall of photographs mapping out a life that was, but never became.

Seeking connection and meaningful communication, a whole new world explodes from the daughter’s hands, where lines of the imagined and the real start to blur.

The collision of two worlds, two languages, and the pursuit of meeting in the space between.

A story about love, loss and language, told with physical storytelling, live music, New Zealand Sign Language, and spoken English.

This piece is performed by a Deaf and hearing cast and designed to be accessible for Deaf and hearing audiences.

The matinee performance will be followed by a 20min Q&A session with the cast and creative team from Equal Voices Arts. This will be NZSL interpreted.
