A nervous glance. A cat call. A face lit up by the lights of a passing car. The sound of footsteps behind her on a dark suburban street at night. In a unique, site-specific multimedia experience, The Maze asks you to pull back the veil on the menace lurking around every corner for women each day.
The Maze allows a single audience member to witness firsthand the fear and paranoia of one woman walking alone at night. With the audio of the woman’s internal monologue, the audience becomes a spectator to incidents of harassment that blur the line between bystander and participant; The Maze is an immersive, site-specific piece.
Recipient of the Adelaide Fringe Artist Fund and winner of Melbourne Fringe NSW Tour Ready Award (Sydney Fringe), The Summerhall Award (Summerhall, Edinburgh) and the John Chataway Innovation Award (Adelaide Fringe).
