Located in the heart of Footscray at the Big West Village, HOUSE will be the centre piece of the nine day festival that will feature almost 70 events presented by over 350 artists in 12 locations throughout Footscray. 

HOUSE is a theatre, a prototype dwelling for social housing services and in 2016 will become a home. It has been curated by Big West’s Artistic Director Marcia Ferguson, designed by architects at NMBW Architecture Studio, quality controlled by women who have experienced homelessness and built by students at VU and Monash University.

Big West Festival opening night at HOUSE will feature, The Siren Event a large-scale orchestration of vocal, instrumental, musical and sonic forces, massed choirs in No Excuses! and an open-air theatre experience called Dwelling. Other shows are set in a hutch, a wardrobe and a tiny caravan.
