Disappear in Light
Jo Randerson
Screening as part of the Documentary Edge Festival 2012
What does it take to turn vision into
reality?
Playwright and performer Jo Randerson
has been a cult figure in Wellington theatre since she burst
onto the scene with her play Fold back in
1995.
This documentary follows the creation of Randerson’s largest scale work yet, a black comedy about death – and about what it means to engage with life.
Filmmaker Leonie Reynolds followed Randerson for nine months, and constructed this 73 minute film from over 120 hours of footage.
Disappear In Light reveals what it’s really like to create a piece of theatre from scratch, to navigate the funding process, and to keep on track and inspired on the long journey to opening night.
Throughout her career Jo Randerson has held onto her belief in the power of integrity, and the possibility of living life without artistic or moral compromise. Disappear in Light shows an artist with a unique voice taking the courageous journey from vision to reality.
