The Weight We Wear - Immersive Revision

The Weight We Wear is an immersive contemporary arts experience exploring anxiety and depression through movement, sound and visual arts.

Rather than offering answers, the experience invites feeling and presence. It moves through vulnerability, isolation, and connection reflecting on how mental health is not an individual failure, but something deeply entangled with community, care, and belonging.

With a performance by Micaela Valerio and Maria Florencia Giuliani, with music produced by Chucho Bruno, and inspired by stories and experiences shared anonymously by our local community.

Arrive early to catch the soulful sounds of Chucho Bruno live, then linger for a powerful awareness talk, a Q&A by the performing artists and a vibrant art exhibition featuring local talent.

This event explores themes of mental health, including anxiety, depression, and emotional struggle. We encourage you to take care of yourself in any way you need throughout the event.

DOORS OPEN AT 5 PM.

SHOW BEGINS AT 6.20 PM.

DOORS CLOSE AT 7.00 WHEN THE DANCE PERFORMANCE BEGINS.
