Unveiling Shadows

A journey through silence.

Unveiling Shadows – a profound exploration of survival, self-discovery, healing, and culture. Woven through intimate storytelling and the language of movement, co-directed by Wanida Serce, Joshua Taliani boldly confronts inner demons, revealing the layers of silent struggles. 

Joshua is a First Nations (Bidjara/Kullali/Wakka Wakka) Italian Artist and Performer. His signature style is heavy on open choreography, infused with the art form of vogue (a part of the Ballroom culture). Working across genres, from street dance to dance theatre, Joshua’s practice is grounded in hip-hop, with experience that includes contemporary dance. Joshua is also the Father of the trailblazing House of Alexander – a leader in the queer BIPOC community which continues the legacy of Harlem’s Ballroom culture of creating space for, and helping to nurture, Trans and queer BIPOC.

Seamlessly blending the intricate web of trauma, silence, and the spectre of self-destruction with the power of artistic storytelling, this work illuminates the often-unspoken challenges within the human psyche. Unravelling the intricate tapestry of life and memory, viewers are taken on a compelling yet haunting life journey through Joshua’s personal experiences and transformations.
