A girl free-falls through filtered light.
A barefoot child slips silently between stalagmites evading a shadowy beast.
A legendary explorer searches for a lost song.
Urza and The Song in the Dark is a brand-new children’s fable set in a subterranean wonderland of complex caves, underground lakes and fantastical creatures. A mysterious song leads a young girl named Urza on an adventure to find her way back to the surface. Along the way she befriends a lost explorer, gets pursued by a mysterious, dark force and finds herself caught up in a primeval story of mythical proportions.
Devised for children and kiddults aged 8+, Urza and The Song in the Dark will be presented intimately in venues across City of Sydney before festival touring in 2019/2020. Using Matriark’s signature punk-puppetry, live songs, original music and stunningly layered, shadow visuals; Urza is a unique work for young audiences.
