A Light Between Rains

The people gather at the cusp of change, the inter-monsoon – when the big winds shift. Beneath the charged skies and the swelling heat, those that have gathered cheer and move. The people move through their city. They move to celebrate the joy of creating. They move to honour artistic traditions. They move to embrace change. They move to share, and they move to move.

Conceived as a speculative theatrical procession, A Light Between Rains unfolds as a display of colour, texture, sound, melody, movement, and an embodiment of the five elements – the building blocks of life. An act of collective world building, it includes and interacts with its audiences, unfolding through community workshops, performance installations and walking theatre. 

Join the procession and be part of a powerful finale that celebrates community, creativity and the currents that connect us all.
