Still Alive (and Kicking)
Experience a special evening with the multi-award-winning, five-star performance, Still Alive (and Kicking).
Haunting, raw, uplifting and life-affirming, this extraordinary show is a celebration of being alive, a transformative journey masterfully told by artist and London 7/7 bombing survivor, Gill Hicks.
Still Alive (and Kicking) features internationally-acclaimed musicians including violinist Dr Julian Ferraretto and Dylan Paul on double bass, framing Hicks’ soulful jazz voice and her powerful projected artworks, leaving audiences spellbound by the visual and sensory feast.
Gill Hicks is one of the most thought-provoking, powerful and life-affirming speakers in Australia. She is globally known as a survivor of the London terrorist bombings on July 7th, 2005. She survived, but suffered severe and permanent injuries, losing both legs from just below the knee.

Evening Standard
