An evening of stories, questions, listening, and movement—a live performance within an installation.

Clothes and fabrics hold women’s stories of safety and its absence. Each offers a glimpse into someone else’s experience—something you might never know simply by looking at them.

Within this installation, Sophie Barbarics and the performers explore the unseen loads we carry, the marks of lived experience, and the courage it takes to be seen. Their starting point is a white shirt. Something ordinary, close to the skin. A garment that can conceal or reveal.

A 20-minute live performance brings contemporary dance and physical theatre into the installation.

How can we meet each other with curiosity rather than judgment? How can we hold one another without asking everyone to be the same?

Created and directed by Sophie Barbarics.
