THEATRE: Twelve Days of Stillness - Empire Theatre

Title: Twelve Days of Stillness

Presented By: Queensland Fringe in partnership with The Empire

Genre: Theatre / Solo Performance

Synopsis: Written and performed by David Fenton, Twelve Days of Stillness is a raw and hypnotic solo performance exploring memory, grief and the stories that shape a life.

Spanning childhood farms, suburban beaches, queer awakenings, family fracture, love, illness, violence and loss, the work unfolds as an intimate act of re-remembering. Audiences are invited to close their eyes, revisit their own earliest memories and reflect on the experiences their bodies have never forgotten. Part confession, part reckoning and part séance, this deeply personal performance examines how memories return when we least expect them.
