(un)tamed *

You shouldn’t be afraid, of that which you can’t see. We are not alone, we have never been alone. Our existence is hauntingly beautiful, but what happens when it’s all over? The outline of something that used to be here, but unable to touch, unable to live. For we can never disappear, the soul of a being can’t simply be wiped from existence, like it was never there at all. The living and the dead tangle and intertwine, roaming among each other, hiding in plain sight.

‘(un)tamed’ is a multidisciplinary performance work created with six dancers, an actor, a visual artist, a writer and a sound designer. The work follows the story of a human attempting to connect with the afterlife. It confronts our need as humans to believe there is always something more out there, that our souls don’t simply disappear after we’re gone. It is a work that begs to question the existence of that which we can’t see.

‘(un)tamed’ was choreographed and directed by Rikia Bell on second year VCA students for Muse Festival 2024.
