What's on Melbourne Offer

In this adaptation from Peruvian theatre company Teatro La Plaza, a neurodiverse cast give “to be or not to be?” a new, life-affirming perspective. It’s a dazzling mash-up that melds film with live performance and turns the age-old question of Hamlet’s madness back in on itself. Presented with UMAC.

A live docu-drama from re: group that crackles with wit and energy. Enter the mind’s eye of Bub, an 11-year-old girl who’s obsessed with documentary filmmaking. In the aftermath of a family breakdown, she turns to dramatised re-enactment to try to figure out what happened. Each night two new unrehearsed actors play the parents, while Bub directs the action. Presented with Arts Centre Melbourne.

Alright. Wrap It Up. A live, late-night taping of your favourite variety TV show, hosted by the unflappable and inflammable Zoë Coombs Marr at Max Watt’s. A place where there’s only ever five minutes of taping to go, and a lot to get through. See some of RISING’s best artists along with local stars, and perhaps the occasional cheeky puppet.

Five fierce Brown women present themselves as an obstacle and as resistance. They are a monolith. An enormous ancient rock formation, coming together and apart. Moving yet unmovable—colonised bodies as powerful sites of silent protest. This is the premiere of Joel Bray’s latest major dance work. Presented with Arts House.

Dance as raw autobiography. Visionary British choreographer Botis Seva opens his life up for a kind of hip-hop exorcism—a storm of limbs, precise and unruly solos. An Olivier-Award-winning production hat asks—how can we fight through vice to find peace?

Stephanie Lake Company’s latest creation sees twelve dancers collide with driving rhythms and the stirring sound of a children’s choir in a new dance epic that chronicles a life.

Karin McCracken is someone you want by your side on that walk down lonely street to the Heartbreak Hotel.

It’s a room with a view, that lets us in with pitch-perfect sketches, vulnerable slices of memoir and plenty of philosophical wit. Presented with Arts Centre Melbourne.
