Selkie Project.
November 2023 Showing @ Rus Kitchin Studio, Fitzroy Street St Kilda.
The Selkie Project is a poetic collision of an old myth with contemporary experience. A new Australian work, it combines a virtuosic one-woman performance with vast video imagery by Green Room Award winner Ivanka Sokol and evocative sound design by Meta Cohen.
In part one the selkie, a seal-woman, is displaced into an unfamiliar human world. Grotesquely animal, but trapped in the wrong skins of ‘woman’ and ‘mother’, she is an alien living on land and yearning for the sea, to which she ultimately escapes, leaving her daughter behind.

Dear Friends

Liminal Theatre and Performance is currently raising money for a creative development to complete their most recent theatrical offering The Selkie Project. This project which has been some time in the making will culminate this November in a limited season of the full production available to all of you.

This performance of The Selkie Project hosted by Rus Kitchen Studio, an artist studio nestled in a shopfront at 4/63 Fitzroy street, will premiere for four days only: November 22 -25 with very limited seating (only 25 per night). Please book early to avoid missing out.

We need your help to realize this. Here is how you can assist. You can purchase tickets to see the show or donate to support the project, or both!:-) See Below

We have no grant funding and the money raised will pay for this present development (artist wages, childcare, space rental, equipment, insurance, fees etc) and future expenses for a 2024 season. We hope you can support and join us!

Creative Development for upcoming Liminal production. We were fortunate to squeeze this one in early July, before lockdown. May the stars align so we can gather again for our next development in October. 🤞
