BEHIND THE GATES OF GUANTANAMO. INTO THE WORLD OF DAVID HICKS.

Through a fusion of dance, film, theatre and aerial performance - set inside a towering metal cage - Honour Bound leads us on a deeply human experience of incarceration at Guantanamo Bay through the eyes of David Hicks’ parents, Bev and Terry.

Terry’s moving testimony combined with letters, internal Pentagon papers and the accounts of former detainees expose the cost to human dignity and our human rights in the relentless pursuit for national security.

"HONOUR BOUND IS SHATTERINGLY GOOD... SAVAGE EMOTIONS OF DESPAIR ARE COUNTERACTED BY THE POIGNANCY OF GLIMPSES OF COMPASSION… A FRESH DIMENSION OF AERIAL WORK THAT DOES MIND-BOGGLING THINGS WITH GRAVITY."
