# Event Details

- **Event Name**: ‘The Collector’ – The Presence of Absence
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 16 Jun, 2026 at 06:00 pm
- **Event Description**: This is the story of a man and his remnants. Together they live on a short street with long shadows, in his former father’s former shop, with a makeshift imagination and a suitcase with just enough space to fit inside. To others it is a boarded-up memento of uninteresting disintegration.

To him it is a glowing ember in a city of burnt-out memories.

To us it is a space between the sense of things…

The Presence of Absence tells the semi-fantastical story of The Collector – a recluse who has closed himself off from the outside & built his own world from the discarded scraps of society.

Incorporating circus skills with projection mapping, physical theatre, dysfunctional furniture and a unique soundscape, this story is a beautiful exploration of social isolation and celebrates the unexpected in the seemingly eccentric.
