Living Canvas

Filskit Theatre invites you to join them on a journey into the private world of four characters. Fleeting images appear and disappear offering a glimpse of true identity in a world of social masks. A feather takes centre stage, tempting and taunting the individuals to reveal something about themselves as it floats on by…
The Living Canvas follows a multi-stranded, non-linear journey through the fragments and episodes that build the identities of four individuals. In this piece the company combines physical theatre, original songs and the innovative use of pocket projectors in order to develop a unique style of visual storytelling. “The Living Canvas Project” forms part of the company’s larger investigation into the interaction between the live performer and recorded image.

“They used a technique I have never seen before… pocket projection… onto walls, people and backing sheets. This innovative technique sets this company apart from so many others out there.”
