Ostinato - a short repeated pattern

Join us for OSTINATO & THE TALES PROJECT — a unique exploration of memory and emotion through the powerful medium of performance. 🎭

Created and performed by: Michelle St Anne
Featuring: Jim Denley, Daniel Raymond & Alex Tucker

This isn't merely a story; it's an experience of endurance and shared moments. As two artistic expressions collide—one deeply personal and another reflecting broader themes—OSTINATO immerses you in cycles of inheritance, violence, tenderness, and survival through generations of women.

🤔 Questions to ponder:
What does it mean to confront the difficult parts of our histories? What possibilities arise when we face them together?

✨ "For those who share histories like mine—I hold you close. It is not our shame, but theirs." — Michelle St Anne

Accompanied by a live chamber music ensemble, this performance seamlessly weaves sound with striking visuals, transporting you to a space where art dares to speak.
