“Who am I? What am I supposed to be… There are oceans where the moonlight creates a stairway to heaven reflecting every facet of who we can be. But when the light of dawn breaks the fears and shadows that keep us ‘hiding low’ return.”
Nobody’s Fool Theatre (NFT) is a collaboration between Somebody’s Daughter Theatre Company and Newcomb Secondary College in Geelong. NFT is an Arts led education program for youth who cannot, for whatever reason, attend mainstream school.
The show is crafted by 7 dedicated students, who diligently work three days a week alongside artists. Together, they bring to life a show woven from their personal stories of trauma. It’s a testament to resilience and the transformative power of art.
A group of 9 teenagers struggle to untangle the shadows that the glare of day brings; homelessness, transience, gender identity, sexual identity, body dysmorphia… just a few of the shadows that keep them on the run from themselves. Interweaving true to life stories with songs, humour and hope, The Day I Met The Moon is a journey of connection with others who don’t ‘fit’ and ultimately with oneself. If we look hard enough and for long enough, we can discover and celebrate all of who we really are…
