The Interrogation of the Nightwalker

Transitory Sound and Movement Collective

This new work, The Interrogation of the Nightwalker, will transport the audience into an exploration of the dark side of the human psyche. Deep within Jung's Shadow lies an even darker side of the human spirit that struggles to get out whilst we struggle to keep it hidden away.
