23—26 November 2022

In Vitalstatistix’s final presentation for 2022, the organisation presents Sightings – a new performance and portrait of place by acclaimed artist Gabrielle Nankivell and her collaborators.

Sightings explores personal and collective mythologies of a town through crowd-sourced tales, choreographed interventions, video works, and public performance.

This new work takes Gabrielle’s choreographic practice to site-specific research and storytelling. Over the course of a residency, the artists – accompanied by the enigmatic character known as Creature – will create an uncanny portrait of Yerta Bulti Port Adelaide.

Embracing unreliable narratives, imagination and haunting, the power of community enthusiasts, and a bent towards the weird, Sightings culminates in a surprising and enchanting performance experience.

Darkly humorous, deeply honouring, and full of warmth, these performance events conjure the curiosity of visiting a private home museum meets backyard film screening meets charming community ritual.
