About the show
Join us for the powerful concluding performance of this international participative project, connecting theatres and artists around the world around the societal role of theatre.
As all performance venues across the world went dark during the COVID-19 crisis, the old tradition of leaving on a single naked bulb on a stand – the ghost light – to ensure that an empty theatre is never left in total darkness, was revived.
Follow the ‘lost characters’ of darkened theatres characters as they wander empty streets and public spaces, searching for each other and for the audiences that enable them to exist. They seem lost, but they are also free, and appear in guises that might surprise to speak their new-found truth.
Ghost Lights is directed by projection and new media artist Katy Alexander, who was resident director at California Institute of Arts and trained with Robert Lepage and The Builders Association (NYC).
