Firehawk
A folk tale retold, a timeless hotel, and one woman's thirst for more. Anna Rushmer’s latest creation is a morally ambiguous, darkly humorous psychological thriller integrating storytelling, music and dance.
Verity has everything just the way she likes it, under her control. So why does she now feel a haunting presence, the sense she’s being lied to, and an overwhelming fatigue? It’s time for past secrets to come to light, specifically a red-hot one.
Spark Sanders Robinson and Rushmer direct this new theatre work starring Madison Chippendale that examines desire, anger and guilt from one woman's perspective.
Reimagining music from mid-20th century composers, Firehawk is alternately whimsical and demanding, building tension and unease, conveyed emotively by Ella Roper’s choreography.
If this show comes up again, go! Highly recommended if you like ballet, haunting music and a twist to the tale.
