Symbolically based on true events, The Weight of Shadow explores mental health deterioration through dance, mime, and aerial acrobatics. Inspired by Sasha’s partner, Ciana Fitzgerald, it reflects the enigmatic language of the psyche.
Immersing audiences in a psychiatric patient’s 24-hour struggle to grasp reality, the show offers a poignant exploration of resilience, inner turmoil, and the complexities of mental illness.
Proudly presented as part of our 50th anniversary year.

“We are reminded of legendary physical performances by the likes of Derevo and Al Seed… It’s a physical tour-de-force by a very talented performer – a disturbing picture of mental illness, enacted with precision.”
