Mercury Rising is a landmark new production created throughout 2025 and 2026 in partnership with re:group performance collective, artists from The Art Factory Supported Studio and the Wagga Wagga Civic Theatre.
Blending live performance and film, the work is driven by the voices and experiences of local artists.
Premiering as part of the Wagga Wagga Civic Theatre’s 2026 program, Mercury Rising marks a powerful shift: placing disability-led performance alongside major national companies.
