Starting the year from a cultural perspective, Arts House’s first event sees the company collaborate with Melbourne Indigenous Arts Festival to present Little Black Bastard, a poignant story about hardship and achievement told by Indigenous elder Noel Tovey.
Their second event will be another collaboration, this time with the Festival of Live Art. It will see Arts House transformed into hyperactive venues featuring 23 confronting live art performances, talks, suppers, sleepovers and dance-offs over four days, as well as host their largest performance to-date: Tristan Meecham’s Game Show, which features a cast of 150 people.
April will delve into the unknown with The Lepidopsters: A Space Opera, while May will see the venue team up with Next Wave Festival to present Natalie Abbott, I’m Trying To Kiss You and Shian Law.
The season will wrap up in July with a commemorative piece called LIVE WITH IT we all have HIV; a production which coincides with the 20th International AIDS Conference.
Considered one of Australia’s most innovative developers and presenters of art, Arts House has been presenting multidisciplinary works, including live art, performance and installations since 2005.
