Tracy Martin
Director & Producer
A note from Tracy:
There’s an image that keeps occurring to me, it’s an image of a person looking out the window of their house. It’s lockdown, Level 5 and vaccines are only a dream on the horizon.
This person is staring out their window at empty, traffic free streets. Avoid each other, do not touch, connection might kill.
What a moment in time we have all been through.
‘Neptune Calling’ came out of an aim to reach out to that person. Could we design a ‘Covid Proof’ production? If restrictions said no gatherings at all could we bring a live performance to an audience of just ONE?
