Relic

A new immersive experience at Urban Art Projects

Step into the world of Relic—a daring reimagining of Jack Lister’s award-winning Still Life film trilogy.

In an unprecedented collaboration, Australasian Dance Collective (ADC) and Urban Art Projects (UAP) invite you to experience art as never before, in a site-specific dance theatre creation that defies the boundaries between performance and visual art.

Crafted for the imposing UAP Foundry, Relic explores the interplay of mortality, fragility, youth and spirit. Inspired by the timeless themes of 16th and 17th-century still life paintings and the haunting symbolism of the memento mori movement, Relic reimagines these age-old notions of mortality through the fearless spirit of motocross—helmets for skulls, smoking rubber for snuffed-out candles, and the inevitable heralding of the final lap for the sands in the hourglass.

The industrial grandeur of the Foundry will be transformed into a mesmerising journey of discovery. The audience will be led through the space and immersed in a collection of exquisitely crafted vignettes—each scene a momentary glimpse of the delicacy of life.

Relic, a collision of visual art, performance, beauty and brutality, is woven into the storied walls of an institution dedicated to creating enduring works. Join us for the finale of this enduring series, featuring ADC’s award-winning Company Artists and special guest Leanne Kenneally, Opera Queensland Soprano.
