Polaris

Tracy and Val are dinosaurs from different cultures. Aoife is a female astronaut leading a crew of distrusting males. Sarah-Jane and Lou-Ann are two teenage girls just trying to survive Year 10. Holly&Ted explore the normalisation of hatred, toxic masculinity and the violence of language through imagined worlds and beguiling soundscapes that are created live on stage. POLARIS follows 3 different timelines; one in the cretaceous period about 2 dinosaurs from different cultures – a T-rex called Tracy and a Velociraptor named Val, another period set in 1997 about two best friends at school just trying to survive Year 10 and the other one in the future (2096) about a female astronaut leading a crew of distrusting males (some things just don’t change, do they?!). Their stories intertwine as the show conveys the way people (and dinosaurs) interact with each other.
