Real Eyes

Most of us learn to occupy small space and avoid anything that looks like trouble. Yet what is it to elbow out of the known confines? To move through the streets with your eyes wide open… To move towards another?

 

Real Eyes is a gutsy and delicate portrayal of lives lived through the experience of disability. Using sound, voice and gesture, these powerful performers seduce us into the potent beat of the city, confronting isolation and finding foot-holds in a series of intimate encounters.

 

Radiant, raw and elegant, Real Eyes transcends the normality of everyday and offers up the possibility of tangible connection.

Acknowledgement of Country

As storytellers, we acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung peoples of the Kulin Nation, the traditional owners of the land we gather on. We’re grateful to create on this land, knowing storytelling has been part of its history for thousands of years. It has held cultures and communities long before us, and we honour the strength, wisdom, and resilience of Elders who continue to care for it today. We recognise the impact of colonisation and the absence of a treaty, and we commit to amplifying the voices of First Nations peoples and working towards truth, justice, and reconciliation. Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.
