Chrysalides
Presented by Chronology Arts Collective
Saturday 12 July 6:30pm | Harold Park Hall, Forest Lodge | 1-hour performance
With Carolyn Eccles, Mitch Riley, Stephen Adams, Nikki Heywood

In the apparent stillness of the chrysalis, a hidden metamorphosis unfolds — a slow, cellular reformation; a quiet, urgent becoming.

Chrysalides, the latest improvised performance from Chronology Arts Collective, is a meditation on transformation, temporality, and the delicate threshold between stasis and change.

The performance brings together four performers in an exploration of metamorphosis — from stillness to rupture, from containment to emergence. The performers inhabit a suspended moment in time, where the ordinary becomes otherworldly, and the body becomes both site and vessel of change.

Chrysalides is not a narrative, but a state. A process. A performance that invites the audience to witness — and feel — the alchemy of transformation. It asks us to sit inside the chrysalis, inside time, and to listen.

Join Chronology Arts Collective for an evening of raw, embodied exploration that honours the unseen work of becoming.
