PROTEUS: NICA's third year ensemble

PROTEUS: NICA's third year ensemble

hero
Join us for Proteus

Micro and macro spaces unfold into an expanse of connective pathways, seclusive rooms and celebratory lairs. Inhabited by a collection of modern oddballs, Proteus builds momentum while meandering through life circumstances. With a postmodern deconstructionism point of departure, this peculiar world sets in.

Proteus is Co-Directed by internationally acclaimed artists Sage Bachtler Cushman and Hugo Oliveira. Their nuanced integration of circus, theatre, and movement creates a distinctive artistic dialect that evokes a visceral, intuitive response. 

This production is supported by an exceptionally talented Creative Team: Costume Design by Miriam Robinson with wardrobe assistance from Melbourne Polytechnic Costume Design Students; Set Design by Barrie Michael Baxter (Baxter); Sound Design and Composition by Ian Moorhead; and Lighting Design by Lisa Mibus. 

NICA's third-year ensemble present their strongest character work yet, while showcasing innovative skills across double Chinese pole, hula hoops, aerial rope, teeterboard, roue cyr, and more. Their last production season sold out in the blink of an eye (Fall With Me, 2024) — so don't wait.
