Ghosts Between Streams

Acclaimed trumpeter/composer Tom Avgenicos presents his extraordinary multidisciplinary work in the carpark of a former torpedo factory, weaving together an intricate 8-piece ensemble with contemporary dance and breaking (breakdancing).

Ghosts Between Streams is a new collaborative work which redefines traditional performance, fusing together chamber music (Ensemble Apex String Quartet), jazz and electronic music (Delay 45) with captivating visuals and expressive dance forms (Reina Takeuchi and Gerard 'Kid Tek' Cabellon). Inspired by daily walks through nearby Stringybark Creek on Cammeraygal Country, the work delves into the struggle between nature and urbanisation and their coexistence in community identity.

Through juxtapositions of light and dark, consonance and dissonance, smooth and jagged, acoustic and electronic, audiences are taken on a spellbinding journey brimming with emotional power and resonance, and are reminded that our shared spaces are something to be cared for, nurtured and enjoyed by all. Set in an atypical performance environment, this show promises to be a unique and unforgettable experience.
