The newest work from Raewyn Hill, in collaboration with the Australian Chamber Orchestra, is a poignant exploration of aging, resilience, and the unseen forces that shape our lives.

IN THE SHADOW OF TIME features live music performed by the acclaimed ACO Collective, and costumes by Australian fashion designer, Akira Isogawa.

Five dancers move on a rotating stage that never stops, echoing the relentless passage of time. Beneath them, a single figure pushes the stage symbolising the quiet support that carries us through life’s challenges.  The sublime music from Arvo Pärt, Philip Glass and Pēteris Vasks, captures the ebb and flow of time, providing ever-needed moments of reflection.

Drawing inspiration from the precision of a Japanese tea ceremony, the work captures the exchange of energy and fleeting truths between people, offering a powerful meditation on human connection and endurance.

This season of IN THE SHADOW OF TIME is devised & directed by Raewyn Hill, in collaboration with the Australian Chamber Orchestra.
