INTO THE FOG

Lose yourself in a world where furniture comes to life, rugs rise like mountains, and lampshades wear people Into The Fog is playful, surreal, and visually striking, pulling you into a visceral inner world.

Currently in the final stages of development, Into the Fog emerged from a bed-bound chapter of life across 2020-2021 and is inspired by the artist’s experience of prolonged isolation with Long Covid and subsequent development of FND (Functional Neurological Disorder).

This distinctive work explores the often unseen inner world of chronic illness, seeking to foster greater awareness, understanding and connection. Through an evocative interplay of character, movement, unconventional lighting and interactive design, this work strives to give form to the invisible, creating a visual, visceral and emotionally resonant experience.

As millions continue to navigate the aftermath of Covid, Into The Fog sheds light on the unprecedented rise of a new chronic illness—set against a universal story of disruption, loss, love, and hope—exploring the deeply human experiences of vulnerability, resilience, and our capacity to change.

Chronic illness, disability and neurodivergence remain vastly underrepresented on Australian stages, especially from the perspective of artists with lived experience. Meanwhile, long COVID is quietly reshaping 100’s of millions of lives in the wake of the pandemic. This work is among the first wave of contemporary Australian performance projects to address this phenomenon not only as a health issue, but as a cultural and emotional one, rooted in image, atmosphere and empathy.
