Look Right Through Me

Look Right Through Me tells the simple story of a young man who has lost his way. After a long night he wakes up to find himself in an unfamiliar setting, a broken and lost man. As he retraces his way home, chance meetings give him relief and cast a gentle light on the world to which, until now, he has been blind. Each moment of human connection, be it an outstretched hand or a clenched fist, informs every act for his survival.

Michael Leunig Collaboration

Give us music when we expect trouble.
Give us tears when we expect breakfast.
Give us dreams when we expect a storm.
Give us a stray dog when we expect congratulations.

Michael Leunig is an Australian poet, artist and philosopher whose instantly recognisable cartoons hold a particular place in the hearts of readers. Now, for the first time, his unmistakable take on the world will be transformed into a living, breathing, three dimensional experience. In this world premiere production, Look Right Through Me dances the delicate line between brittle whimsy and soul-searching angst, maintaining a lightness of touch while nudging at Leunig's own irrepressible humanism; a willingness to face life without defences, with all it deadly, delirious wonder.

Insider Info

In other news, KAGE is already starting to work towards another new show. While only researching at the moment this work will see KAGE returning to their past. Is that enough of a cliff hanger for you? We hope so. 

KAGE also want to congratulate Gerard Van Dyck and his wife Ineke on the recent arrival of their new baby boy Arlo.
