Rialto Theatre welcomes Suzana Phialas as our Associate Artist in Residence for 2026.
For the past week, Suzana Phialas has been working inside one of the Theatre's most unexpected spaces — transforming the understage into the site of a new immersive installation, LUX_KILL.
The Artist in Residence programme offers artists the time, space and technical support to experiment, develop new ideas and create work that responds directly to Rialto Theatre itself. Throughout the residency, ideas evolve through dialogue with the building, its architecture, history and the people who bring it to life.
With the support of Rialto's technical and production team, LUX_KILL is gradually taking shape beneath the stage, where choreography, technology and architecture collide.
Over the coming weeks, we'll share the evolution of LUX_KILL as it takes shape beneath the stage.
Opening 4th September 2026 19:00
