“At all hOurs I thought about time, the passing of it, human endurance, frivolity and beauty. It was a sweet meditation and welcome disruption in an unlikely place. I found myself marvelling at the beautiful digital installation, wishing I could stay for the whole 24 hours. I don't think there are words to describe the beauty of the end, it was like the human spirit made flesh”
Audience comment from Sydney performance
Pedal.Peddle & Castles are a double bill of two multi-award winning contemporary performance solos created and performed by Eliza Sanders Directed by Charley Sanders. They have toured extensively in Australia and New Zealand to overwhelming critical acclaim.
“Pedal is hard to explain, impossible to define and unlike anything you have seen before. It is a physically lyrical performance that is innovative, bold and truly spectacular. It should not be missed and Sanders performances should be sought out at every opportunity.” - Australian Stage
