SLIDE Youth Dance Theatre - The Letters

In a quiet park in the middle of a busy little town, much like Darwin, a single bench carries the secrets of the people who visit.

Day after day, layer upon layer of their lives are shared with this garden park, where they feel safe to be themselves, to be open, to be unseen.

But they are seen.

Today, something feels different in the park, the flowers seem a bit brighter, the breeze is comforting. And then, there's the envelopes.

One for everyone, with their names beautifully hand written.

What is inside and who has left them here?

The Letters is a dance theatre work created by youth, for youth, celebrating their connection to all people, regardless of age. It reminds us all that life is precious and sometimes the most unlikely people can add light to your life. A piece that is heartwarming in its message of truth and wisdom, with a whole lot of humour and a generous spoonful of sugar.

The Letters champions generational respect… it is about connecting as human beings in this world where we sometimes get caught up in the disconnect.
