Sydney Fringe Festival
"You'd do anything for me, except let me go."
A gripping and heartfelt exploration of self-discovery, fragmentation and loss through theatre and music.
Two sisters, two souls, one river. The River Ghost is an emotional and introspective examination into agency and stagnation, the cost of action against the cost of inaction, and how our harshest critic is often ourselves. Rushmer’s work is a modern reimagining of watery folk tales including The Little Mermaid and Undine, Rushmer’s work delves into a psychological world of ethereal dance, music and shadow projections.
