LIFE/CYCLE – The Epic Conclusion of the Black Bag Trilogy
TICKETS AVAILABLE from 4 February 2025 at https://www.tendays.org.au/

Join us for a groundbreaking theatrical experience as we present LIFE/CYCLE, the remarkable finale of the Black Bag Trilogy. This journey began with ‘Happy Days’ at Mona Foma 2021, continued with ‘Request Programme’ at Beaker Street Festival 2022 and Theatre North 2023, and now reaches its powerful conclusion at Ten Days on the Island 2025 in Hobart, co-presented by Mudlark Theatre.
Marking an exciting directorial debut for me, this innovative production brings together an extraordinary ensemble of talent:
-A spectacular bicycle-powered light installation that merges sustainability with artistic vision
-The raw energy of two gifted young performers alongside an international parkour artist
-Acclaimed local actors Carrie McLean (fresh from her stunning performance in Nathan Maynard’s ‘The Box’) and Guy Hooper (recently featured in Archipelago Productions’ ‘Women of Troy’)
-Twelve dynamic performers from Mature Artist Dance Experience (MADE) celebrating their 20th anniversary year
-An exceptional creative team of Tasmania’s finest designers
Secure your tickets February 4-5, 2025, and be part of this very special theatrical experience.
LIFE/CYCLE draws inspiration from Marjorie Bligh, Tasmania’s legendary housewife and recycling pioneer. You’ll be deeply moved by this powerful meditation on the fragility of contemporary life and the enduring human quest for security and purpose.
Set in the atmospheric depths of The Old Mercury Building, LIFE/CYCLE invites you on an unforgettable ride, immersing you in a transformative experience that will linger with you long after the final bow.
