AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The city after dark becomes the setting for Constellations. What looks like a grimy gymnastics hall is transformed, through some well placed dabs of paint and some clever lighting, into the streets of Sydney. It's the perfect setting for the actors' touching and funny autobiographical stories, since it's at night after you have turned off the light and settled down to sleep that your mind starts racing. In the witching hour, the thoughts and memories suppressed in the daylight hours come out to delight or haunt you.'
