Bare Witness

By Mari Lourey

Behind each image there's a story. But is it the truth we want, or just the next front page?

02 Oct – 06 Oct

Acclaimed on its Melbourne premiere, Bare Witness is a remarkable piece of physical theatre. Drawing on actual experiences of photographers and correspondents, this electrifying multi-media play catapults us into the world's combat zones, exploding the way we view the world's humanity through the fragmenting lens of the media.

Landing in Sarajevo and joining a pack of seasoned war journalists, a rookie photographer sets out to capture the perfect image. Each photograph she shoots becomes a kaleidoscope of dreams, memories and emotions - thrilling, painful, and forever haunting.

From some of Melbourne's most exciting contemporary theatre-makers, Bare Witness is a visceral experience that will change the way you look at the news.

"...an outstanding piece of physical theatre... ambitious, smart, beautifully realised" - theatrenotes

Recommended for ages 14+
