LAYER (on-demand)

Produced by Stalker / Box of Birds. Performed by Cloe Fournier, Katina Olsen, Olympia Kotopoulos (Netherlands). Directed by David Clarkson and Veerle Van Overloop (Netherlands). Digital Artists Andrew Bluff, Matt Hughes and Boris Bagattini. Composer Peter Kennard. Supported by City of Sydney, The Australia Council for the Arts, Epic Games and Create NSW.

A real-time collaboration with the Netherlands, Layer tells the story of three women, each alone and isolated with multiple cultural identities. They encounter multiple layers of themselves in real, virtual, fragmented and augmented realities. Layer explores notions of self-identity, as well as the pleasures and fears we stumble upon within our socially distanced COVID selves.

An IN DEVELOPMENT showing in collaboration with ShELFISH Productions and WERC Collective (Netherlands).

Recorded at The Flying Nun on 14 November 2020 in front of a live audience.
