After the catastrophe of the Second World War and the Holocaust, Europe was broken. Its cities in ruins, and the souls of its survivors irrevocably altered.
What art could arise from this rubble? Can anything of the old world be salvaged?

“The breaking of a wave cannot explain the whole sea.”

Celestial bodies move the earth’s waters – and we feel those tides deep within us. For as long as humans have walked the earth, the push and pull of the seas have shaped how we interact with the world. Tides explores how the moon and other cosmic entities exert a force that is at once epic and intimate, geological and personal.
Featuring new choreography by Jesse Matthews and design by Jane Noonan, Forest Collective will perform a rich program of music by Evan J Lawson, Claudio Monteverdi, Bjork, Joseph Haydn, and more. Tides will move and reshape you through powerful sound and movement into a new and immersive world.

“Even to see oneself in the mirror, one must recognise oneself.
For unless one does that, one does not see oneself, only a human being. ”
— Soren Kierkegaard, The Sickness unto Death
A transgender composer bids a musical farewell to her troubled past state of existence through a heartfelt artistic expression of the abstract mental journey it took to get her out of it.
The expressive and multifaceted baritone of Stephen Marsh gives voice to the restless thoughts and reflections of a 'self' stuck in a mental labyrinth, via settings of text fragments from the Danish existential philosopher Soren Kierkegaard. Moving through a cycle of continual self-construction/deconstruction, darkly comic/tragic musings and elusive despair, Portrait of a Self depicts someone struggling to dig underneath their consciousness, make sense of their condition and become a real person, all amongst music which is itself in a state of fluctuating stylistic identity.
This piece from Melbourne composer Kym Dillon is born from a very specific experience, but more broadly it is a story of mental health, selfhood, and the unearthing of identity in the most foundational sense.
