Coil – Re:Group Performance Collective

Presented by Darwin Festival.

Streaming killed the video store. And that’s not all we lost…

Blurring the boundaries of theatre and cinema, this innovative new work draws on our collective memories to pay tribute to the glory days of the video store and the communities we made within them. Coil reflects upon the joys, perils and pitfalls of nostalgia, and how we grapple with goodbyes to move on.

Creating new work at the very edge of video technology and live performance, re:group mash theatre and movie making together to create ‘live cinema’. Inspired by the highs and lows of pop culture, re:group aim to turn typically comfortable and passive viewing experiences into something immersive, irreverent and inherently live.

Don’t miss this playful, one-of-a-kind live cinema experience.

“A must-see live cinema event.” Realtime.

“Genuinely impressive…nostalgic, philosophical and comedic.” Time Out.

Performance warnings: Contains strobe lighting. Suitable for ages 12+.
