BRINK PRODUCTIONS AND STATE THEATRE COMPANY OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA, IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE FIRM AND ADELAIDE FESTIVAL CENTRE’S INSPACE PROGRAM PRESENT
This Uncharted Hour tells the spiraling narrative of a family across two generations, unveiling how, in a single moment, an unexpected event can shatter the surface of our lives.
Luka is driving to meet friends when a terrible accident leaves him shaken but unharmed. This seemingly innocent event steers him unexpectedly to the house where he grew up, now long since abandoned. As he moves from room to room releasing the ghosts and memories within its walls Luka finds himself confronting a long held family secret.
An exhilarating fusion of theatre and music, this uncharted hour shifts seamlessly between the past and present creating a richly visceral world filled with raw emotion and theatrical magic.
