A ‘runaway’ 5-star success at the Adelaide Fringe Festival, the world’s largest open access , “STILL ALIVE and KICKING” is Gill Hicks’ first foray into live theatre since the life-changing events of 7/7, July 2005, which wreaked havoc and devastation in London and in which Gill lost both her legs.

Award winning, this one-hour intimate narrative performance includes large format visual projections of evocative images and art created by Gill. Has left audiences spellbound as the images roll throughout the production, Gill punctuates her insights with soaring vocals reminiscent of late-night jazz haunts, accompanied alternately by acclaimed South Australian musicians Julian Ferraretto / Robert Wallace and Dylan Paul.

Her soliloquy is warm yet pointed; facing death gave Gill a new appreciation for what it means to have life. STILL ALIVE and KICKING is an ode to survival.
