ELVIS HAS
LEFT THE
BUILDING

A show that celebrates dressing up, costumes, wigs and uses the phenomenon of the celebrity impersonator as a vehicle to look at the shifting identities we experience through life. Exploring our roles in society, with our families, friends, communities and asking the most important question - what is it that makes us who we are?

A comic yet poignant exploration of identity across generations.

Alongside our company of actors and dancers, a cast of 9 - 12 year olds transform before our eyes as an Elvis Impersonator asks them questions about life and death, love and loss, memories and hopes for the future. The responses to the questions they act out on stage using the costumes and props that surround them as Elvis underscores the action live with his songs. 

Scenes of hilarity and poignancy in equal measure arise as they try to figure out how to share with an audience who they are, who they were and who they want to be.
