Trophy is a performance and art installation that asks: how have you changed? Audience members explore a cluster of architectural tents. Inside each tent is a person telling the true story of a turning point in their life. Audience members circulate through the tents, transforming them into multi-coloured translucent structures, covered in new stories. How its lifespan evolves depends on you. Our light-filled tents become temporary beacons to a world in changing times, before they vanish off into the night.
