In what is becoming a signature personal style, Eliza Sanders takes the audience on journeys around the world and into the depths of her mind with absurd spoken word, movement and song.

A lone woman talks, sings and dances her way through the triumphs and heartbreaks of looking for love on the road. To move forward you must often step back. Love and travel can turn you upside down and inside out. Art can sustain you but it can also send you mad.

Will she paint the town, or paint herself?
Will she create a nuclear family or a nuclear bomb?
Will she dance as if no one is watching, or masturbate furiously - knowing that they are?
She will build a lover from scraps of cloth and then rip him apart to make herself a bed.
She will be a tiny dot in a city of millions, and all at once a tower-crushing Godzilla.

Since graduating from the New Zealand School of Dance at the end of 2014, Eliza Sanders has been traveling the world - refining her creative craft and learning about life on the way.
‘Castles’ picks from the place that her last solo - ‘Pedal.Peddle’ - left off: ‘The question of a Muse. A Search for Home. An attempt to orgasm.’ She’s been on a new adventure, but the same old questions keep popping up. It’s a reiteration of old experiences, a layer of new ones, and a cogitation on the self as a work of art, shaped by experience.
