BURN GLASS GATE

Coproduction 2024

Moving through a field, wading up a river, standing in a parking lot and lounging in a graveyard, we see three characters cross one another over and over again. Set in the now, their lives appear stagnant until the disappearance of one of the characters exposes the fragile grip they have on what they consider to be true. Focused on a thin line between truth and madness, a fictional world arises that both seduces and deceives the spectator.

In her work, Carly Rae Heathcote constructs large-scale theatrical images and narratives, wherein characters are caught between doubt and belief, fascination and horror. As a spectator, you are taken on a humorous journey that repeatedly leads you astray.
