Synopsis
Based symbolically on true events, ‘The Weight of Shadow’ acts as a visual representation of a rapidly deteriorating state of mental illness.
It is inspired by Sasha’s partner and collaborator Ciana Fitzgerald, a film maker and fine arts painter, and depicted through enigmatic physical languages including dance, mime, and aerial acrobatics. The show portrays 24 hours in the melancholic world of a psychiatric patient desperately trying to hold onto their tenuous grip on reality.

"It is Theatre of Cruelty, Grand Guignol and Grotesque, performed magnificently.At the play’s end, Krohn has elevated the banal, the invisible and the downtrodden into high art.
This is truly great theatre." - ArtsHub *****
