Bare Witness

by Mari Lourey

Landing in Sarajevo and joining a group of seasoned war journalists, rookie photographer Dannie Hills sets out to capture the perfect image. Each photograph she shoots adds to a kaleidoscope of dreams, memories and emotions - exciting, painful and forever haunting.

An electrifying multi-media play drawing on real-life experiences of photographers and correspondents, Bare Witness catapults us into the world's combat zones, challenging the way we view humanity through the fragmenting lens of the media.

This award-winning play integrates fluid movement, live sound design and animated projections with striking originality. With its passionate and restless energy set against a backdrop of 20 years of conflict, Bare Witness will change the way you look at the news.
