The City the Colour of Stars
A contemporary shadow theatre performance by The Shadow Theatre of Anaphoria, accompanied by a live microtonal orchestra.
The City the Colour of Stars is a contemporary shadow theatre performance by The Shadow Theatre of Anaphoria, accompanied by a live microtonal orchestra. Set in a future AI designed city where architecture reflects the data of its inhabitants, the performance unfolds as a surreal fable of technology, alienation and connection.
Through intricate puppetry, light, and original microtonal compositions, the performance conjures a world both comic and uncanny.
The result is a luminous allegory of our technological desires and fears, where even shadows reveal the patterns of the human heart.
Presented by The Shadow Theatre of Anaphoria and Wollongong Art Gallery.
