Nightfall Ablaze

Rarely do science fiction and fantasy appear on stage, but that was what Within Theatre set out to do with its first production Nightfall Ablaze. The story follows Kaiser Inferno, a clone that has been created to be a perfect soldier. As he trains to be a formidable combatant, he begins to question his purpose, his feelings, and his very humanity. Is he a person with desires that he can he freely acquire, or is he a machine designed for only one purpose?

Nightfall Ablaze was a unique production, as the entire performance was done in silhouettes and candlelight. Performed at the E. D. Feehan Theatre, everything was backlit, creating crisp, black silhouettes on a colourful backdrop with brief glimpses of the players lit by candles. It created a distinct visual style which thrilled audiences as they watched this fantastic story unfold and crash down before them.
