Ether is inspired from a deeply personal experience for Devon Taylor (Murmur Collective/Chiaroscuro Theatre) one half of the creative team. After losing a child born of twins four years ago, she was drawn to examine the connection, the bond and sense of self within the blood-tie of twins.

She and Naomi Francis (Mothlight) have been exploring these themes in a creative development period spanning the last six months. It was through their extensive interviews with twins and parents of twins that they discovered the direction of Ether. Each twin interviewed spoke candidly of their struggle with identity.

What they have produced is a simple and careful theatre offering, where the physical and emotional thread that binds twins is unravelled

Why we need some money!

We are seeking to raise funds for the hire of a geodesic dome to include in our set design. 

We have sourced a dome that can be easily constructed and hired for the duration of the production. It is the correct size and has enough structural strength for our creative vision.  The dome we wish to hire is pictured below.

Costs

We have been quoted;

$100/day X 7 days= $700

Total needed to hire=$700

The action and the audience will be within the confines of this majestic structure. We, audience and actors, will literally be inside the dome for the duration of the performance. 

Any contribution will help enormously. Thank you in advance.
