Description
Who is the ‘in crowd’, what makes us strangers and how can this relationship change? These are just some of the questions that will be raised as we are taken to the beach, the perfect setting to explore these concepts, a place where we strip down the layers of our identity, physically and metaphorically.
On our Beach is a tender, moving work that will take you on an emotional journey below the surface of Australian identity.
“A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.” – John Lennon
