Sydney Opera House, The Ship Song 2024

Description

This atmospheric video for The Ship Song project commissioned by the Sydney Opera House opens on a handwritten cardboard sign affixed to a dark wall reading please step quietly everyone can hear you. A woman with dark hair tied back dressed in a black dress walks down a dimly lit backstage corridor lined with exposed pipes and lighting fixtures. She ascends a short flight of steps carrying a folder and enters a dimly lit backstage area where a pianist is playing a grand piano. The lighting is low and moody, capturing the intimate, quiet moments behind the scenes of a performance venue.
