Since 2014, Matriark has created and toured numerous original works, hosted street festivals, recorded podcasts and run workshops. Matriark’s work is eclectic but unified by its accessibility for young people no matter who they are or where they live. Past projects include Eerie Street Pod (Queensland Theatre, Create NSW); Urza and the Song in the Dark (Arts on Tour, Create NSW); The Secret World (Australia Council, FRRR), The Lighthouse at the End of the World (Critical Stages), UnVoiced Pod (Bondi Pavilion)
On a small island, overlooking the edge of the known world sits a lighthouse. It has been kept by the same old Lighthouse Keeper, since lighthouses first began. Her job? To guide travellers away from certain danger and, in a small way, to help the world keep turning.
One day the future arrives in the form of a well dressed young professional from Lighthouse Corp, transporting a large automatic light bulb. It’s time to go. The Lighthouse at the End of the World follows the Lighthouse Keeper as they complete their final tasks – tasks that take us from the depths of the ocean to the skies above. Told with humour and heart, this show is about what we can learn from those often overlooked.
